Ponytail Falls (aka Upper Horsetail Falls), Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, United States

Shortly before making the thunderous plunge over Horsetail Falls, Horsetail Creek is shot through a narrow crack and exploded out into a large pool in front of a deep recess, which allows a trail to pass behind the falls. This is one of the more favored waterfalls in Oregon for professional photographers, mainly for pictures looking out from behind the falls. Though the falls are only about 1/3 mile from the trailhead, the trail is steep, gaining about 250 feet in roughly 1/3 mile, hence the moderate difficulty rating.

With a drop of around 90 feet, this isn't one of the largest waterfalls in the area by far, but it offers some of the best vantage points for photographers!
