Overview

Bridalveil Fall plunges 620 feet and is a popular stop for tourists of all ages. Bring your camera because the falls are memorable, especially early in the season. Rainbows shimmer in the mist when the light catches them just right, most often in the late afternoon. Spring is when the falls are most rambunctious, by September the water slows or can even dry up.
