Horsetail Falls
The Horsetail Falls depicted here would probably be one of the few waterfalls that stays true to its name. However, we were there on Labor Day weekend when the flow was low like the rest of most snowmelt waterfalls. Thus, we ended up seeing a wishbone in shadow as opposed to a horse's tail. Either way, you'll want to come in the early to mid morning when the sun might shine right into the waterfall, which is mostly under the shadows of its surrounding foliage. Along the way, you can enjoy hiking 4 miles return amongst the towering mountains (such as Red Mountain and White Mountain, which get their names from their colors when you see them at sunset). You can access the trailhead from the end of an unpaved road to McGee Creek the leaves Hwy 395 not far from Convict Lake or Tom's Place.
