About This Event
Early summer is the perfect time to hike to horsetail falls as the falls are absolutely raging and the trail is clear of mud and snow.
Join us for a beautiful evening sunset with cocktails, views, waterfalls, and friends!
The hike is a bit a leg burner so prepare for a workout followed by cocktail hour in the mountains!
