We had 4 adults, 3 kids from ages10 to 17 and a dog with us. The views were beautiful and you had frequent water views during the hike which is nice. The falls at the (almost) top were stunning. On the way back we stopped at one of the pools to take a dip, quite brisk to say the least but refreshing too. I'm glad I was brave enough to inch all the way in. A fun experience.

I drove by here many times, every time saying I was going to hike up there...After ten years, I finally got around to it...Had breakfast in Placerville at Mel's Diner first...We took a backpack with water and sandwiches for the hike...I'm glad I did it...This is also a tributary for the south fork of the American River...And there is a lake at the top of the falls, with another waterfall behind that lake...Worth a day trip!!

This place is awesome. Explore forever. Scramble in and along the river. Backpack in your lunch and enjoy amazing scenery. Water is COLD.

Horsetail falls is a moderate hike with a great falls and beautiful granite walls. The short hike (distance more so than time) follows along Pyramid Creek over granite slabs created from glaciers. Make sure to peak through the trees at the creek every now and then as there are great swimming holes and beautiful, smaller cascades all along the hike. The trail can be hard to make out in the desolation forest so keep an eye out for markers (piled stones) and the creek to your right and you will eventually wind up at the foot of the falls.

2月の中旬から下旬にかけての一時期のみに見られる、Horsetail Fallが夕焼けに赤く輝く、FireFallを見に行きました。まずは国立公園の入り口で、その日の日の入りの時間を調べると、１時間半前にはすでに、見所には車がたくさん駐車しており、El Captanの東側に、は特別にパーキングスポットができていました。今年は滝の水量が少なく、あまり綺麗には見えませんでしたが、それでも赤い一筋の滝は美しかったです。

Horsetail Falls is a great stop between Lake Tahoe and Sacramento if you are going up Highway 50. There is free parking available right off the road. A wooded area below the falls makes for a great place to explore and rest. There are large flat boulders, perfect for a midday picnic. The falls are clearly visible from the road, but a short hike up the mountain offers photogenic views of the woods and the streams/waterfalls that travel down the hillside. In the summertime, Horsetail Falls makes for a fun (if sometimes cold) swimming hole. In the winter and early spring, the entire area is blanketed in pure white snow, making for beautiful scenery. The terrain is not rough, and serious hikers can make it to the foot of the falls. Because Horsetail Falls is a small area, many people will drive by without noticing it. So don't blink, or you'll miss the chance to visit a truly great place!

This is one of those spots that will forever live in my minds eye. The smooth hike over house-sized boulders and bedrock, the warmth from laying on those rocks in the summer evenings, the starry nights. The rushing, icy, crystal clear carving itself into the bedrock, body-shooting (careful now) some minor rapids, laying next to the waterfall where the sound plays strange, eerie tricks on your mind. All within an hour of the parking lot but a wilderness away. Take a hike, spend the night. Really want a show??? Go August 10-13, 2013 to catch the Perseids meteor shower.

Just kidding, but it was quite a hike to the top of the falls. Well worth it though. It's a Garden of Eden up top with large, cool swimming holes and more waterfalls, greenery, trees and snow capped mountains (we went July 15/03). If you take the hike up the falls, stay focused and take it slow, or else.........P.S. Hi baby, how 'bout risotto for dinner?
