Path Type
There and Back
The hike starts at the visitor center. From there to Bridal Veil Falls, is 2.1 miles, but just remember you still have to climb/hike back up the gorge at the end. It took 45 minutes to reach the top. Signs are posted for how to back. The total journey is 3.4 miles. Once you reach Bridal Veil Falls, please hop in and slide down the fall (to the left side) because it is safe and makes the trip worth it. There is a rope you can use to pull yourself out of the swimming hole with to the left of the river. Be aware though, the toughest part of the hike is leaving there and getting back up to the top so make sure you save enough energy for the return journey. You do that by heading upward on the right side of the river. You'll see foot traffic and a sign point to how to get back up.
