Fun Facts

Bridalveil Fall is frequently confused with Yosemite Falls, but it's actually one of the first waterfalls you see when entering Yosemite Valley.

The waterfall's name comes from the way the wind catches its mist, making it look like a bride's veil.

Bridalveil Fall plunges a stunning 620 feet, making it one of the most iconic waterfalls in Yosemite National Park.

While it flows year-round, Bridalveil Fall is most powerful in the spring when snowmelt feeds its waters.

According to Native American legend, inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall will improve your chances of marriage.
