At 210 feet tall, Horsetail Falls is one of the most spectacular falls in the Columbia River Gorge. The falls are located right next to the highway, and there is a small parking area nearby, which gives immediate access. The falls are visible from 180 degrees around the falls with beautiful trees in the foreground and a scenic plunge pool at the bottom.
