Bridal Veil Falls
To get to this water fall all you have to do is drive up the canyon, no hiking involved. A few miles up the canyon there will be a sign on the right warning you the falls are coming up. About 50 yards after the sign there will be a large pull-off on the right. Don't be surprised if there is already a few cars there. The water fall is derectly across the road from the pull-off in plain site.
What a lot of people don't know about is the hike behind the falls. The trail to the top can be very dangerous as it is very steep. You will need to bring a rope because when you get to the top the other side is very steep. Tie the rope to something sturdy and use it to lower yourself down. When you get down and start hiking upstream you will come across some layered waterfalls that are a little difficult to climb, but it can be done. After the falls its just a stream with lots of ig boulders, nothing really to see besides nature. It's really nice up there because it is all pretty untouched by humans.

I thought that you could't hike behind the falls. So if i try this will i get in trouble? Also, during the winter this fall is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBridal Veil falls is a very pretty place in the canyon! I really like to go in the winter time because it looks really neat when it is frozen over. I am not into climbing illegaly so i probly wont climb it, just stand atg the bottom and enjoy the vast beauty of it all!
ReplyDeleteYes in winter it is very beautiful, and also a very popular ice climbing spot. I dont belive it is illegal, only right near the falls maybe? but if it was I don't see how people can climb here.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried this hike during winter? Is the hiking area difficult to find?
ReplyDeleteI've been to this falls before, but you're right, I didn't know you could hike around it.
