Bridal Veil Falls
Central Cascades
Bridal Veil Falls is currently snow-covered, with slushy and muddy conditions on the trail, especially during the afternoon melt (March 14). Snow begins at the parking lot turnoff, and while a higher clearance vehicle is recommended, it may be passable for others.
Multiple blowdowns obstruct the path, requiring navigation over, under, or around them. Expect slippery creek crossings, with one bridge detached from its foundation (January 31, March 7). Exposed cable wire is also present (February 28). Despite winter conditions, the falls are flowing due to snowmelt (March 7). Parking is generally available, though restrooms are closed for the season.
