Hi Bud

This site provides the best and most up to date info on Horsetail Falls in my opinion http://www.michaelfrye.com/landscape-ph ... e/#more-29" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Bud,

I was there last night (2/19/12) with 500 others :). I heard Friday was decent, Saturday was a bust (due to clouds), and last night was so so. Here are a few pics I snapped with my d40 (no tripod). There definitely was not a "flow" of water but more of a mist which you can see in one of the pics. Still a spectacular scene and a fun way to end the day.

This was a tough year for Horsetail Falls. Hopefully we will get some good Spring storms to get the Valley falls going strong.
