Overview

Bridal Veil Falls on Bridal Veil Creek in the Columbia River Gorge is a two-step cascade of about 120 feet over angled rock faces, reached by a short, steep 0.6-mile round-trip trail from the parking area on the Historic Columbia River Highway. The historic Bridal Veil Falls Bridge, a contributing structure on the National Register of Historic Places, crosses just above the falls.
