This is a great hike, though very much an un-maintained trail for a good section of it, and a bit of an ass kicker. Take a left behind the tree about 200 yards before PonyTail falls (seriously, it doesn't look like much of a trail at all) You get to see all the falls on the loop back, so don't worry. You'll hardly see anyone once you get off the main trail as it is pretty much a bush wack and scramble to the top (lots of blow down). Coming down the backside is really nice and secluded until the very end when it joins the Oneonta trail which is very popular.
