1. Bridalveil Fall is one of the most iconic waterfalls in Yosemite National Park, California. It cascades down 620 feet from the granite cliffs of the Yosemite Valley. The fall is known for its ethereal and delicate veil-like appearance but its mist can be quite powerful and can drench visitors in no time. The fall is visible from many locations throughout the park and is especially stunning in late spring when it is at its peak flow. The fall is named Bridalveil due to its similarity to a bride’s veil blowing in the wind. It is also said that the fall’s mist creates rainbows on a sunny day.
2. Bridalveil Fall is open to visitors throughout the year, weather permitting. There is no admission fee to visit the fall and there is no need for a reservation. The park can be contacted at +1 209-372-0200 for more information.
3. Bridalveil Fall is located at the end of a short trail at the western end of Yosemite Valley. The trailhead is accessible from the parking lot near the Yosemite Valley Lodge, and the walk to the fall takes about 10-15 minutes. There is no public transportation to the fall, so visitors will need to drive or hike to the trailhead. The park charges a fee for entry, ranging from $35 for a private vehicle pass to $80 for a yearly pass.
