- hipline19 contributionsThe waterfall is adjacent to a 13 mile paved trail that runs by the Provo River. It’d be so fun to bike the whole thing. Waterfall is stunning and easy to get to - a steep short trail will get you up there but you get as close as you need to for beautiful photos with an easy short walk from your car. A great quick stop could be even better if you have time to walk along the river path. Highly recommend.Visited October 2024Traveled with familyWritten October 8, 2024
- DSTWHTroy, Michigan74 contributionsIn route from Moab to SLC, we took a brief side trip in Provo to see Bridal Veil Falls. I was beautiful and flowing rapidly. There was a trail to hike with took you to the middle part of the falls, but we were interested in getting wet. There were lots of other smaller falls coming down the cliff as well. We continued our drive up the mountain for 5 more miles to see Sundance. There are multiple restaurants at Sundance, but we were focused on SLC, so we looked around briefly and then continued our journey. The Falls and Sundance were worth the diversion in our trip.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 14, 2024
- Lorin S3 contributionsMy friend group has gone on this same trip to prove for three summers now. We did not make it to bridal veil fall this year, but we did go the first two years. It is so beautiful. There are some nice hikes to do there and great places fo picnics. If you are from arizona like myself, it can be a bit on the chilly side so plan accordingly ( ie. Bring a light jacket). 10/10 would recommendVisited July 2023Traveled with friendsWritten June 27, 2024
- Nicco LSt. George, Utah98 contributionsBeautiful waterfall. There are actually two. Upper and lower. About a quarter mile from each other. Weather was warm.

There was even an ice cream truck.Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 6, 2024

- Cheyenne RaeOhio328 contributionsWe stuck to the paved trail and got to the waterfall quickly and easily. I love waterfalls and seeing this one was a lovely treat! It’s a double waterfall with one at the top trickling down to form another waterfall that flows to the bottom of the paved trail! We wanted to walk higher up to another waterfall but a sign was up that said “closed” so we decided not to go even though many people were (I’m starting to think that the closed sign is always there and it wasn’t actually closed to public) but that’s okay! Just means I get to experience the other waterfall another day!Visited December 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 2, 2025

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.

Lovely little trail and a lovely little waterfall. It was gorgeous, even in the winter, and the water still flows while the area around it is frozen. The hike through the snow isn't too arduous, and the view is very pretty.

This 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.

As of 10/2021, there is construction at the falls - it looks like it will be going through the end of the year. Still nice to see, but it does impact the visit as an FYI.
The falls are a nice side trip from driving. It’s a quick trip from the car from either the viewpoint or from the lower area where you can hike more. The hike up to the falls is hard and risky without proper footwear and probably hiking poles. Nonetheless, you can see and enjoy the falls without much effort.

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.

We were driving through the mountains and stopped to check this water fall and it was gorgeous during sunset.
It’s only a short hike from the parking along the river on a paved path.
This seems like a popular plans to run and bike around.
I meet some at the falls and said there is a path you can take to hike up to the top and during certain times of the year you can swim in a pool of water half way up. It was to cold when we stopped but I would like to go back during the warmer months.

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!

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.

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.

We 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.

No. You park your car off the highway in a small parking lot and take a short 5 minute walk along a beautiful paved path to the falls. This path follows the Provo River. It’s an impressive falls especially in the late Spring.

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.

Yes, there are barbeque grills available.

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?
Written August 1, 2015
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.
