Comments	We hiked the Horsetail Falls loop up past Ponytail Falls and on up to Triple Falls, then back. Beautiful hike with lots lush spring vegetation and lots of wildflowers too. The most prolific wildflower was the Oregon geranium (Geranium oreganum), which I'm told is actually invasive. In any case, it carpeted much of the area that we were walking through. We also saw some Columbine (Aguilegia formosa), Cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum), Bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa), and a white flower that I think is Candy flower (,i>Montia sibirica). There were others too, but it was a crowded Memorial Day on the trail and I wasn't able to stop much to ID flowers.
