NEARBY WATERFALLS - Horsetail Falls, Ponytail Falls | Elowah Falls is kind of the big brother of Latourell Falls. Both are tall plunges surrounded by massive cliffs covered in lime green lichen. Our pictures didn't turn out very well for some reason so we'll have to get better ones next time we're in the area. This is a very tall, very beautiful waterfall that everyone should visit. |
