The Cattail Falls are located off the road to Castalon. These fall are also from the Basin but are not nearly as high. The hike is mostly in the rolling hills of the desert down to the base of the mountains that form the Basin. The hike into the falls is about 2 miles and is not difficult. The falls are not as spectacular as the Window hike. The trail narrows so that it is necessary to squeeze between some boulders to get into the falls. Because of the water the area is heavily treed and there is a large pool. This is another area where the animals come for water. This is another hike that is good for young kids. There is another trail that splits off (The Lower Window Trail). It looks like it goes to the bottom of the falls from the Window, but we have never taken that trail. Maybe next year!

after the first couple of slides I was thinking "Dad must be losing it to call those tiny shrubs "trees". I was glad to see there were actually taller trees, looks pretty there. I'm glad you and your "homeboys" had fun.
