- Cello12345Urbana, Illinois541 contributionsRoadside stopThis is a nice roadside stop, almost like a rest area. You can see the falls right from the road, but I recommend stopping for a closer look and stretching your legs. There are two parking areas - one easily marked, right by the road, and one that is actually below the first parking lot and accessed from a turnoff just west of the main one. The lower parking lot was closed when we went, as was the restroom there. This is likely because of the large snow drift that was still blocking the stream at the waterfall. Parking at the upper area, there's a short wooded trail at the east end of the lot, leading down to the lower area. From there you can cross the stream on a bridge and view the falls, and you can also hike along the stream. The hiking path actually appears to connect up to the next park east, so it's set up well for a bit of exercise if you're interested.Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten June 16, 2023
- Nancy UAltamonte Springs, Florida1,501 contributionsA nice shady walk to see the fallsWe drove out to see the falls but the road is closed due to the avalanche. We drive past the falls and then park. We walk a mile to the falls. If you take a left at the bridge you Caen walk along a shaded path. It is worth the walk.Visited July 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 7, 2023
- catysonreviewsShingletown, California1,201 contributionsIt's not closed and it's a really nice walk. Many young folks were jogging on the trail.I drove to get to the trail, and I'm glad I did. It isn't closed despite what the sign says. When I saw the sign that said the trail was closed, I decided to walk down by the picnic area, which brought me right back to the trail. I was passed by at least 60 joggers and many people on bikes. The highway is so loud that it drowned out the sound of the running water, but it was still a really nice walk. They are still working on a bridge but it's full of people enjoying the trail.Visited August 2023Traveled soloWritten August 18, 2023

Bridal Veil Falls is a picturesque falls in the Provo Canyon. It is right off of the road, with easy access parking. There is a bridge to cross over the (also pretty) Provo River. There is a nature/excersize trail at the base of the falls. Beautiful area, and I can't imagine how amazing the falls would be after a rainy year!

Bridal Veil Falls is definitely worth a look, even if only for a quick stop. I parked in the parking lot at the bottom while it was still dark. The falls are illuminated with artificial light overnight, but watching the sunrise through the valley is an incredible sight. The parking lot at the bottom gives you a great view of the falls, the valley, and some of the large snow-capped mountains.

This is one of the most beautiful walk/hikes we’ve been on. Flat, paved and easy for kids and wheelchair. The waterfall is approx 1 mile from the first parking area but you can continue up a narrow rocky path above the falls or continue on paved path and make the hike as long or short as you like. We turned back just past the damn and it was about 4.2 miles.
You walk along the river, under a canopy of huge trees that were just beginning to change colors mid September. Bring a picnic, there are several picnic tables near the first parking area, situated near the river under big shade trees.
Suggestion: go early morning before 10 am for the most shade and fewer people.

I've visited Bridal Veil Falls many times but I finally took the time to hike up the steep trail to the base of the second level of falls. It's not a long hike, but you will need to take a break or two along the way to catch your breath. The views of Provo Canyon and the waterfall make it all worthwhile. The following week I hiked to Lost Creek Falls across the canyon which looks down on Bridal Veil Falls and I got some great photos there as well.

We were here in January amidst the snow so this was quite the adventure. Due to the snowy roads there was not much parking. The walk to view the falls had been cleared (somewhat) but it was worth the view to travel this icy path. I'm sure it would have been better in a warmer month.

We just stopped at the upper parking lot to have a look at the falls. They are beautiful as a bridal veil, and easy to see with very little effort. It is a lovely area for hiking if you want to get closer to the falls. Worthy of a visit.

It’s a short walk from parking to the falls. My son-in-law climbed to the first landing where he was able to stand behind the falls. The Provo River is along the path, and there a bridge to cross over. It was definitely worth the stop!

Toward the end of the day when we stopped to stretch our legs. This turned out to be a good choice since the walk was relatively flat and the country side was pretty to look at. This is located near the freeway and you have to get off to the parking lot although you can see it as you drive by. Worth the stop.

No entrance or park fees
Would you say it’s a lot of walking?
If there is is there a lot of inclines?
Do you have to be in great shape to able to go here? I have problems with my breathing and I’m just wondering if this would be a bit too much for me??

The walk from the parking lot to the base of the falls is paved, short, and not steep at all.
Can we have a barbecue?

Yes, there are barbeque grills available.
is the parking lot open, and what are the parks hours?

We visited the overlook area that is open all the time. It was not busy when we visited but I expect that it could be at other times of the year. I think there is way to drive on a lower road, maybe via Nunn's Park or the Upper Falls turn off that are at either side of the overlook a little ways away. You will see signs for both.

I did not have one. but i did see some that were on a leash, so the answer is yes.
My daughter is in a wheelchair and would like to see the falls but not sure of the trail would be wheelchair accessible. Amy one know?

The Falls are easily accessible from the lower parking lot, but the easiest access for wheelchairs is to drive past the lower lot, right to the base of the falls. There is a new bridge there to cross the river (next to the remains of the gondola that was destroyed by an avalanche a few years ago.) Also, if you stay on Hwy 89 past the exit for the falls, there is a pull-out at the top of the hill that has a great view of them.
