Ponytail Falls is on one of the nicer trails along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon as the hike starts off at Horsetail Falls, which is also quite attractive. You then traverse a hill and through varying forest before hearing and then seeing Ponytail Falls. The cave behind the falls makes for an interesting though slippery place to explore. The top of the cave is the remnants of an ancient lava flow and the bottom softer soil which was eroded by the falls. Including my son is in the foreground and my wife exploring very close to the falls allowed me to give some scale to this photo. Photo taken by Morris Bennett Altman (Estados Unidos) - Nature
