Bridal Veil Falls is located in Provo Canyon – you can’t miss if you’ve ever driven through the canyon.
About
You can clearly see Bridal Veil Falls from HWY 189, but to get a better sense of how big it is, there is a nice, small trail that takes you to the base of the falls. At the top of this 600 ft tiered waterfall, there used to be a restaurant, called the Eagle’s Nest Lodge. The restaurant had a fire, and years later, after the cables and been dangling up there, an avalanche finally sealed the fate of it by forever removing all the loose cables. You can still see the loading station at the main parking lot. On weekends this is a very popular waterfall for families to stop and look at, so arrive early if you wish to get photos without other people in your pictures.

View from the parking lot.
Start by walking past the gate, following the paved path through the park.
In summer it is nicely shaded. Dogs must be on leash, of course.
There are several spots to look at the creek.
Walking past the base of Bridal Veil Falls. There is a nice, shallow pool that people were playing in. Charlie wanted to take a swim, but it wouldn’t work with his leash on. Poor baby!
You immediately see these two rocks and trail heading up and to the right. This is the path to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls.
Stay on the trail. It’s a little steep, but not bad. All ages can hike up it.
The mist felt so refreshing on this 70 degree day!
Bridal Veil Falls in all it’s glory.
