Note
the hikers behind the falls!
Ponytail
Falls is missed by those who peer at Gorge waterfalls from a car
window. A short and moderately steep out and back hike leads to a
classic Gorge spot - a trail that goes well
behind a waterfall. Plan on carrying
or pushing your smaller kids on the initial steeper 3/4 mile of this
hike.
We hike this trail in the autumn, when the fall tree
colors are at their peak. While this trail is wide and well traveled,
there are a few significant drop offs /cliffs. Please
keep close track of your child in these areas.
This
will primarily be an out and back hike. If you are feeling
more ambitious, you can make it a 2.7 mile round trip loop by
continuing on the trail, returning to the Gorge Historic Highway,
and walking back about 1/2 mile to your car.
