Bridalveil Fall Trail

Plunging 620 feet (189 meters), Bridalveil Falls is often the first waterfall you'll see when entering Yosemite Valley. In spring, it thunders;during the rest of the year, look for its characteristic light, swaying flow. A paved trail leads from the parking area to the base of this waterfall, which flows year-round. Although paved, this is trail is not wheelchair accessible due to its grade. The trail to Bridalveil Falls is open year-round. When the water is at its peak in spring and early summer, you can expect to get wet! In some cases the spray is so strong, you may not even be able to easily access the end of the trail. Expect icy and very slick conditions in winter.
