Bridalveil Fall

  • April 24, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by dina4 from los angeles, California
This is a great place to stop for an opportunity to get really close to a beautiful waterfall. Winds blow the mist up to 20 feet away from the fall's base, creating a bridal veil-like cascade. If you're lucky, a rainbow will make this sight even more enchanting. Bring a waterproof camera for amazing photos!

(If you don't have a car, you'll have to walk or ride a bike to get here. The shuttle doesn't come this far into the valley.)

Bridalviel Falls

Bridalviel Falls

Bridalviel Falls is a short walk from a spacious parking lot. It is the waterfall that can be seen from Tunnel View directly across the valley from El Capitan. Follow the paved trail in the southeast corner of the parking lot a few hundred yards til another trail branches off to the right. The trail is marked with a sign, but it doesn't say Bridalviel Falls so it's a bit confusing. After a steep climb through trees and rocks the waterfall will come into view on the right as the trail ends a way-too-small viewing area. During spring runoff, expect to get soaked with mist here!
