HorseTail Falls

Description: This trail is not well marked at several points, but don’t worry you will not get lost. If you get off trail just follow straight towards the waterfall and you’ll get back on the trail again. As you approach the waterfalls, big boulders will be revealed, and these must be approached with great caution. This is a very dangerous part of the trail, so please be careful and watch your footing as you proceed up to the top of the waterfalls. Don’t let your kids or dogs venture ahead of you.
