Tall Tails



One of Shaun's good friends was up visiting from San Francisco for their Birthday. To celebrate, we all descended upon Ponytail Falls. At only 2.5 miles and a book rating of "easy," we were hoping for a walk in the park. It was. An enjoyable 1 pie experience no one should miss out on. The awesome main attraction to this hike is the fact that you can actually walk behind the waterfall. There is an amazing natural cave that's quite large seated behind the downpour. If you felt like getting the beating of your life, you could even venture out onto the rocks and really experience the falls first hand (this is of course, not recommended.)You can still get pretty wet without being directly underneath, the mist it was pumping out was soaking anyone who stood in the cave for a length of time.  From this distance the falls are deafening. It's hard to describe the sheer volume of water one of these wonders can produce. While it's not the largest waterfall I've seen in person, it's one of only ones I've experienced this close up. Amazing.
