Description
Also known as Upper Horsetail Falls, this waterfall is on Horsetail Creek in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Oregon. It drops about 100 ft (30m) and, as you can see, the trail goes behind the falls, offering many photographic opportunities. I've posted two other shots of this one, here and here.
Just downstream is Horsetail Falls, dropping the final 176 ft (53m) to a scenic turnout along the old Columbia River Highway.
We had freezing rain today, and snow is promised for tomorrow, so I went looking for some green on my hard drive.
Thanks for stopping by and any comments.

Beautiful and unusual waterfall/shot ... love it!
Splendid waterfall.
Oregon is so rich with waterfalls!!!! Incredible catch Dennis!!!!! I heard that Multnomah Falls is frozen right now?? That must be a sight to behold!!! Have a good evening... ;-)
I find this so interesting. I like the narrow plume. Its very different and you got so much of the falls and surrounding area in this great shot.
That looks like a great place to visit. And you can walk behind it. How neat. Don't think I've seen one close to me that you can go behind like that. Good shot.
You found your green Dennis, and your photo brings it home in vibrant life for the viewer as well. Excellent shot and composition.
I'm glad you found your green and shared it with us. I enjoyed comparing it to the other two pictures and getting the different points of view. The people in this one really allows us to see how large this is. Great shot!
Fantastic capture. Like the ppl there gives a good measure of the fall. And that mossy wall is just amazing.
A very beautiful falls. Alohq
Excellent and very impressive shot. The POV is fantastic!

Wow! Now that's a vigorous fall! The name suits it :)
Amazing place! Very impressive!
Really beautiful waterfall. Must be a misty walk behind it.

That person there gives an indication of how big this fall is. Beautifully lush and refreshing
Beautiful photo, as are the others. Just wanted to say hi as I haven't talked to you lately. Paul
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it appeared small at first, til I saw the people!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy smokes.
Gorgeous waterfall, and it's well named! I'm glad you went rummaging. This is just beautiful! We had sunshine yesterday. The storm totally missed this area. Sometimes being in the convergence zone is a GOOD thing (but not usually)!
Beautiful waterfall...
Very nice to see this :) Great shot :)
Wow! So much wonderful! Very cool and impressive!
The thumbnail does not do this justice. A spectacular capture, nice to see the people down below to give it scale. I wish I could go along this trail, I am unable to do that so thanks for lending me your eyes for this wonderful falls. Excellent work, and quite a bit of greenery for your hard drive. Bravo!!!!!
