Horsetail and Ponytail Falls Hike

It was an outstanding summer day today, so we found a great hike to do this morning.  We live just 40 min from the beautiful Columbia Gorge area with a plethora of amazing hikes.  We have a Hiking With Kids In Oregon book that has been extremely helpful to allow us to do 5 y/o manageable hikes.  Ava has come a long way as a hiker and did the 3 mile (400 ft elevation) with no complaining and complete enjoyment.  It was such a fun time as a family and truly made me appreciate the ages of our kids!

Horsetail Falls

Super hikers!  It truly brings joy to my heart to watch my kids hiking as it's
my favorite activity and having them with me is the best of all worlds!

Ponytail Falls - We could walk under the falls in this cool cave-like area that you
can see in the picture if you look closely.  Fun!
