General Notes: This is an easy hike to the base of the falls, with a couple of different ways you can go to access the base of Horsetail falls.  There are many marked (with rock cairns) routes up on the left side of the falls, which will eventually get you to the top and Avalanche Lake, which is the immediate source of Horsetail falls.  This is a very difficult cross country trail and should only be attempted by skilled individuals.
