About half a mile round-trip, this trail can get crowded in summer, but it affords breathtaking views of the falls, with water spilling over 600 feet to the valley floor and looking just like a bridal veil. Beware, you may get damp from the spray. Start from and return to the Bridal Veil parking area, located about 10 miles southwest of the Visitor Center on Highway 41. There is wheelchair access with assistance. The trail may be closed during winter months; call first.

More like a stroll but definitely worth a stop!

(Rating: 4) by Cyril on June 4, 2008

This fall is on your right very close to where the road reaches Yosemite valley floor. As you're awe-inspired by the vistas, it's easy to miss it as you drive and then it's difficult to come back to it given the long one-way loop. Make sure to not miss the entrance to the parking lot. The walk to the waterfall is very short and accessible and the view is well worth your time, especially in spring when the water flow is at its peak.
