Summary: The trail starts out with a few switchbacks that eventually turn into a more moderately sloped trail to the first falls, Pony Tail Falls. If you keep going the trail wanders around and then down to some more switchback that lead to a bridge over the Oneonta Gorge. Following the trail will take you to a fork that if you follow to the left will take you to Triple Falls, the Forest Service is repairing the trail after a tree fell last winter. The right fork will take you back to the Scenic Highway. Parts of the trail are steep and rocky but overall the trail is fairly easy. Trailhead: The trailhead is right off of the old Columbia River Highway, just a few miles past Multnomah Falls. The trailhead is Marked Horsetail Falls and has a scenic view for those who just want to drive up with the trailhead to the east of the falls. The trailhead is very clearly marked (Lat:45.35 Lon:-122.04) Trail Guides for Horsetail and Triple Falls: 100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon by William L Sullivan (Navillus Press) 100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon by William L Sullivan (Navillus Press) 100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon by William L Sullivan (Navillus Press) Best Seasons: Fall, Spring, Summer, User Groups: Hikers, Dogs, Ranger Contact: unknown Localhikes Reporter: This hike was submitted by Mike Loomis Trail Reviews Page 3 of 3 Submit your own review 
Reviewed by ALS on 4/23/2007 Great hike up to Pony Tail Falls (upper Horsetail Falls, Oneonta Falls, and then on to Triple Falls. The hike is moderate to difficult in places. Keep in mind that any hike from the Gorge Highway always has a climb up to the ridges. Triple Falls requires a hearty climb from Oneonta Falls...but it is worth the effort. It is now my personal favorite
Reviewed by Virginia on 2/26/2007 This is a sweet hike. Not to intense, just beautiful waterfalls and forest. The gorge is my favorite. 
Reviewed by Albert on 8/14/2006 some friends made a series of cairns at Triple Falls yesterday. They are an incredible addition to the scenery. Rivers and Tides comes to Oregon :)
Reviewed by Angelina on 10/22/2005 Absolutely beautiful hike that takes u deep into the narrow cavernous onyonta gorge. The trail tends to be very steep at times and is quite a challenge for beginners. I would say it's a "moderately difficult trail" to hike. The waterfalls are spectacular, great energy out there, and lots of vibrant greenery and wildlife if u are paying attention. Great place to eat lunch at the triple falls. Very beautiful day trip.
Reviewed by Rob on 8/25/2005 Trailhead latitude is wrong. More like 45.60
