About Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls was certainly one of those roadside waterfalls we couldn’t have missed even if we tried!
For starters, it was roadside next to a busy highway. However, it also had that rare distinction of having a short spur loop road that allowed us to drive behind it! I don’t think we had ever driven behind a waterfall that neither wasn’t modified by man nor wasn’t passing through a manmade tunnel. I guess given this rather rare quirk about it, perhaps it shouldn’t have been surprising that it was not only memorable but also immensely popular!
During the nearly half-hour that we spent at this 45ft waterfall, I couldn’t count how many people drove their cars behind it. There were even a couple of folks who did the loop twice, and another guy with a guilty look make eye contact with me with his hands up in the air as he passed by (perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed that his wife made him do it).
Fortunately, drive-thru waterfalling wasn’t the only way to experience Bridal Veil Falls.
There was a large pullout just beyond the small loop going behind the falls. That allowed us to park our car and do that loop by foot. The only real hazard for us was making sure not to become roadkill as well as not fill our lungs with too much soot from the particulates of the exhaust from vehicles slowly passing by.
We also happened to show up in an early Autumn afternoon when there was a rainbow in its mist as well as lots of Autumn colors. Indeed, it was definitely a fun waterfall and certainly worth a visit if you’re in the area.
