Bridalveil Fall Details
This is one of the most famous falls in the Park, and one of the few that flow year-round. The fall is most famous for its heavy mist -- the Ahwahneechee believed that inhaling it improved your chances of getting married. The walk to the viewpoint near the bottom of the falls is paved and typically very crowded. Luckily, there are other good, accessible views of the fall from Wawona Tunnel and Valley View.
