Ponytail Falls

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. – Poe

This gem is called Ponytail Falls (located above Horsetail Falls) and it was our first stop in the Columbia River Gorge on a recent trip to Oregon.  It is a relatively easy, but steep, 0.3 miles from the trailhead, and definitely worth the effort to go see.  It was also one of the few falls we saw in the Gorge that didn’t immediately cover your lens in spray.  If you intend to go shooting anywhere in either the Columbia River Gorge or along the Oregon Coast, make sure to bring extra lens cloths! 🙂

Many thanks to local photographer TJ Simon for taking time to show us around to his favorite spots in the state.  We definitely couldn’t have seen so many great spots without his input and company.  Do us a favor…make sure to check out his site and show him some love!
