Horsetail falls loop hike

Overview

This is a stunning low elevation loop that takes in three waterfalls, looks into the sheer-walled Oneonta Gorge , and offers views over the Oneonta Bottomlands and up the Columbia River Gorge . Families with small children need to be careful at the unprotected cliff viewpoints on Oneonta Bluff and avoid the poison oak that grows along the trail.
