Description
Horsetail Falls is the largest flow to form in June Lake. At it highest point, it is around 270' tall. The flow is wide and unless it is a very cold winter, the center is often still flowing as a waterfall. Because of this the quality varies greatly. It can range from wild cauliflower ice to thin ice over a snow base to perfect baby-blue water ice all at the same time.
Location
Follow the tramline up from the power plant to where it is convenient to cut across.
To descend, either rap off of one of the three bolted anchors off the top with two 60m ropes or there is always the option to walk off to climber's right or left depending on if you are going to climb Horsetail Falls again after or are just heading back to the car.
