From the parking area, follow the paved path to get a closer view of the falls. Feel free to dip your feet in and get wet, 'cause the base of Bridal Veil Falls has a nice shallow pool which little kids love to splash around in. The surrounding trails are great for spring, summer, or fall hiking and biking, and the views can be absolutely breathtaking.

 

Visitors in winter definitely don't have to go home empty-handed. Bridal Veil Falls is a favorite spot for ice-climbing in the winter. Scaling frozen waterfalls with crampons and ice tools is a unique and challenging sport. Utah ice is usually in good shape for climbing from December through February. Besides Bridal Veil Falls, Utah Valley is full of other great ice-climbing spots, including The Great White Icicle, Stairway to Heaven, and Miller's Thriller.
