oneonta


Two days after hiking Eagle Creek, I joined a completely different group for a hike up the shorter (but slightly steeper) Oneonta Trail past Horsetail and Ponytail falls to Triple Falls. This was another incredibly beautiful hike. Who knew so many stunning places were hidden in the forest just off the freeway?!

Ponytail Falls—another waterfall you can go behind!

There was a second trail into the Oneonta gorge that led over a precarious log jam to a waterfall (if you were willing to swim a little). It was absolutely beautiful back there, but I couldn’t bring myself to carry my camera across the log jam… partly for the sake of my own balance, and partly because if I’d fallen, my camera would have been fully submerged! So I had to make do with my own eyes and memory (not the easiest thing for a camera addict to do). It was pretty incredible.
