We arrived at Bridalveil Fall early in the morning to beat the crowd and get a parking space as close as possible to the head trail. From the parking lot we walked about one quarter mile on a shaded, picturesque, slightly uphill trail that crosses foot bridges originally built by cavalry troops one hundred years ago.
The Bridalveil creek runs along the trail and creates astonishing view and people stop there to take a rest or have their pictures taken. It’s a nice spot for picture taking.
It’s almost the end of the trail and the rails at the end mark the beginning of the viewing area.
Warning
sign posted everywhere to warn us about the dangers of slippery boulders and
what to do in order to be safe.
Roaring
down from about 620 feet, this fall is one of the most prominent waterfalls in the Yosemite Valley, seen yearly by millions of visitors to Yosemite National Park. Bridalveil Fall – So named because on occasion the wind often blows the falls sideways giving it the appearance of a "bride's veil", it also called "Pohono" or "spirit of the puffing wind" by the Ahwahneechee Indians.
