Review & FAQ:

Horsetail Falls Trail is a wonderful way to spend the day outdoors in Whittier. The trail takes less than half an hour and has an easily-accessible boardwalk on 90% of the mile-long tail. It’s a super adventure as you walk by Whittier Creek, a number of waterfalls, blueberries, and various other flora and fauna.

At the very top you’ll reach a desk that offers phenomenal views of Passage Canal, the many boats docked at Whittier Harbor, and the rest of Whittier. Camping is allowed on the deck at the top, but because of the limited space you might not always get an opportunity to openly camp there. Map
