On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, I drove out to Stewart Falls. And on the way there, I saw Bridal Veil Falls to my right side. There is a parking lot to the right side, off the highway, and the parking is a fairly decent size, not too small, nor too large. The parking is free, and you can stop and take videos or pictures of the waterfall. There weren't too many cars there when I went, maybe 2-3. I am not 100% sure if there is access to a trail from that parking lot. I know further up the road, if you drive up, I saw access to hiking trails. I did not see any restrooms there either. All in all, it's a short and sweet stop. And I would like to explore the trails there, near the stream.
This waterfall is one of the main outdoor attractions in Provo. We visited in December while it was below freezing. It was VERY cold because of the high winds so definitely bundle up if you visit during winter months. The falls were frozen but it was still pretty to see and we did walk a little bit. There was some construction at the time but it was safe and accessible for those who need it. Honestly, we didn't stay too long or walk the whole path due to the cold but I'm sure it would be even more beautiful during the spring, summer, and fall months. I would recommend going to anyone visiting Provo.
So pretty!! I feel the view of the waterfall is better from the parking lot for the scenic view. It's an easy hike down a paved road. The waterfall is really pretty and refreshingly cold on a hot day to put your feet in! Saw there were bathrooms by the falls but they were locked and with construction netting around them.
This is a well-known and well-loved hike in the Provo canyon. I call it a hike, but it's really a paved stroll with a moderately steep incline and a picturesque setting at the end. Along the way, there are picnic tables for you to stop and enjoy an afternoon sandwich or snack. I've heard there is a trail that leads you up to the waterfall itself, and that it is much more strenuous. I can't speak to that one since I've not tried it. There's a decent parking lot and porta-potties. Depending on the day of the week and time of the year, this place can get pretty packed. Go early, take your camera and prepare to run into lots of other folks there to appreciate Utah's beautiful nature.
Beautiful falls and easy access! It's only 3 miles in starting from the bottom of the Provo canyon. There's parking down below and usually full so if you continue to drive a 1/4 mile, there's overflow parking and an overlook of the waterfalls. There is a trail that will lead you down the mountain to the falls as well. There are honey buckets there, but no hand sanitizers or sinks. Come prepared! Luckily we found parking below and walked to the waterfall. The short walk is dog friendly, green, beautiful trees, and has plenty benches for for those who needs a short break. There are some bikers that uses the same trail so be courteous and move over to the right when you hear them from behind. There are people that would hike the wet rocks for a better picture next to the waterfall but I think they're absolutely nuts! Beautiful scenery and very kid friendly!
Bridal Veil Falls is a quick and easy walk up the canyon. The path is beautiful in every season, especially fall. Bikers, skaters, bladers, and walkers fire through this area. It's an easy walk on paved trail so anyone can do it. It's a really great place to go to just get outside for a little walk. Utah has many beautiful places, and this is one of it's most popular.
This is a really beautiful place with an amazing stream right there. During the weekend there is ice cream truck and shaved ice trucks. Compared to other falls I've been to this one is worth the drive and hike up. It's not a totally easy hike, but there are sections that aren't clearly marked so we went up some very treacherous climbing up very loose rocks and finely powdered area, pretty slick.So my advice is follow the path and most of it isn't too bad and if it becomes bad you may have taken the wrong path. Awesome view and the water will cool you off. Today was 90+ degrees
Water + Rocks + Falling = Waterfall Add a spectacular backdrop and the ability to practically walk right up to it and you have yourself an experience worth the travel to get here. It's called Bridal Veil Falls and I can see why. The tier it hits after it comes over the top of the rocks spreads the water like a veil. Apparently people can walk all over this attraction, which was kind of surprising for me to see. I wouldn't think this would be an interactive place, but I saw people all up close, enjoying the area below the "veil" tier and towards the bottom. Apparently the rocks that get wet are the places to get your picture taken. As long as it's okay, more power to them. I don't think I'm that sure footed. I was just happy to enjoy from the cheap seats. Ha! But no, it really is beautiful, and shows that you don't have to have Niagara Falls to find a natural treasure.
Bridal Falls Veil is one of the more popular parks in the area. We are big fans of waterfalls so we definitely planned to check this one out; We arrived just after 10am on a beautiful Saturday morning. The parking lot was already pretty full as vehicles were parking up on the drive in. Fortunately we found a spot right away. There were all sorts of people around. From joggers and walkers to families to older folks. It's a short walk of a few blocks to the Falls. It's very scenic. Before you know it you can hear the water cascading down the mountain and you have reached the base of the falls. Feel free to take your shoes off or wear sandals as you can walk in the cool water. A lot of fun on this beautiful day. As the weather heats us, I'm sure even more folks would visit and walk in the cooling beautiful water of Bridal Falls Veil. read more
Omg guys!! Absolutely a must see in Provo! Dog friendly, a small amount of walking to get there and the cutest little swimming hole! If you don't want to walk to the falls you have the option to park at a small pull off near the falls. We didn't stay long as it was somewhat busy but totally worth it! read more

Hard to beat this spot. Bridal Veil Falls is one of those places that somehow feels peaceful and epic at the same time. It's just off the road in Provo Canyon, so you don't even have to do a serious hike to enjoy it. You can literally pull over and be staring at a giant waterfall in like 30 seconds. We've been here in every season--spring runoff is wild, fall colors are unreal, and even winter has this frozen magic to it (though maybe bring Yaktrax if you're brave enough for that version). Great for families, dates, solo thinking time--whatever mood you're in. Just bring a jacket if you're going near the water. It's always colder than you think. read more

What a beautiful landscape. I love the view and the waterfalls! People were in the pond at the base of the mountain. Had no problem with parking on a Wednesday afternoon. Pulled into the large parking area off the highway and immediately saw the waterfall. read more

Bridal Falls got its name due to the tallest falls looking like a bridal veil when there is high water conditions. So beautiful, unfortunately I was only able to pass by. This time around I didn't have time to actually visit. But it was so lovely to see. read more

I grew up only a few hours away from Provo Canyon, and wow, since moving away I realized just how lucky I was to come here to often. Now every time I come home the first thing I want to do is go here! This waterfall is absolutely gorgeous, all year round! The great thing about this destination is 1. its not too far of a drive from the mouth of the canyon 2. lots of parking availability 3. paved trail with immediate, beautiful trees to the falls 4. something for everyone- picnic tables, right next to provo river, and you can make it as long or short of a walk as you like 5. you can swim in the water which is super fun for kids 6. you can turn this walk into a strenuous hike by getting on the hiking trail next to the falls and hiking to the top of the waterfall! 7. the paved road goes on past the falls for a couple miles where you can bike, skate, skateboard, walk, etc... and extend your peaceful stroll through the canyon. Its definitely more of a walk and a great family destination if you have young kids, or a photo op for a family photo. tip: the leaves change about late September to early October and it makes the entire canyon breathtaking. Highly recommend stoping by if you are anywhere near provo! read more

Wonderful place to visit in Utah. Nice 15 min walk underneath the trees. Great picture opportunities. One at the falls it's just amazing view of the falls. read more
One of the cool features of Bridal Veil Falls is the driving to get here. Enjoy quick waters, jagged cliffs and lush green landscapes on the way. Parking is pretty easy, but expect a lot of car and foot traffic on the weekends. Rather than hike from the beginning of the Bridal Veil Falls trail, we had actually parked near the falls itself for a little family time in front of the beautiful pool of water below the waterfall, and took some photos too. Then we walked along what is called the "upper falls trail" (paved) until we reached the upper falls bridge. There is not much elevation on this trail, but it is very relaxing and great for a chill family outing. Just watch out for bicyclists, roller bladers, and skateboarders. Overall they are very space-conscious but best to be careful. I think everyone would also appreciate it if pet owners picked up after their animals as well...Besides this point, a laid-back, family-friendly hike, accessible for all read more
Great little day drive. Beautiful views of the falls. You can even hike up to the top. Paved walking trail is a nice bonus. Picnic areas are clean. A nice river runs thru the area. Be safe and watch for bicycle riders...they are sneaky and don't share the path very well. read more

Im vary glad I got to see bridal veil falls, special during winter. My family and I decided to stop by on Christmas Day. There was a few other people not too many though which made it much more enjoyable. It was the most magical hike ever! A very short hike to the falls but worth every second of it. I hope to return one day and see this place during the summer. read more
Have been hiking here several times. It is down provo canyon and has a very long trail that runs along the river. There is a private parking lot for the bridal veil fails area. It is not too large, but I've never had a big problem finding somewhere to park - unless it is a holiday then i can be tricky. Closest to the parking lot is a long grassy area with picnic tables and some BBQs. A walking trail runs through that part and above the grassy area is a trail for bikes. Further down the two trails merge and there is a designated side of walking and a side of biking. These trails are PAVED. Once the trail merges, you walk a little further and you get to the falls. Very beautiful place. It is a fun place to go with kids too. At the bottom of the falls there is a place where you can feed the fish. There are some hiking trails that take you up along the falls as well. I've never done them, but have known some people who have. This trail is not paved. You can go further down the trail (I think it runs for a few miles both directions). The PAVED trail is beautiful. It runs along the run which is beautiful and sounds peaceful. Along the trail it has trails that canopy over it. Very cool place to go. read more
Visited Utah and family decided to take us here to check out the beautiful scene! Full of nature and the hike was not long at all... Takes about 15-20 minutes and leads to the water fall which is absolutely a close view. Like every hike it has it steep ends so be careful! read more

Bridal Veil Falls is an impressive 600 foot waterfall located about ten miles from the I-15 in Provo Utah. Although not worthy of a 9 hour drive from Orange County California by itself, Bridal Veil Falls is a great way to get out of the car for an hour, stretch your legs and see something amazing. You can actually ride your bike on the paved footpath from the parking area right up to the base of the falls and continue further up the canyon for some exploring. I've read that route 189 is sometimes closed in the winter due to the snow, so you might want to plan your trip accordingly. I know that Bridal Veil Falls freezes over in the winter and becomes a popular destination for ice climbers. There is also a whitewater rafting outfitter called RunoffRiver Adventures based near Bridal Veil Falls that offers some pretty inexpensive self-guided rafted trips with shuttle service for 30$/ per person. I haven't checked them out myself, but I'm an avid bargain hunter and 30$ sounds like a deal to me. Yuba State Park is located about an hour south of Bridal Veil Falls and has some great lakeside beach camping for 10$/per night. I have a ton of other hikes in the area mapped out on my blog if anyone is interested. http://southcaladventures.blogspot.com/2013/03/zion-bryce-grand-staircase-glen-canyon.html read more

Beautiful area and scenery to soak up! I came here visiting family at the end of November...so it was COLD! Waaaaay colder near the water...bring a hat, gloves, and nice thick pants along WITH your heavy coat :P I'd love to come back during the summertime and hike around here. Looks like a great spot to burn up many hours under the sun! Enjoy :) read more

This place is awesome. The hike up to the falls was fun and interesting. It wasn't paved like the hike up Timpanogus (sp?) and 2 of my sisters practically crawled across a part they thought they might fall down the mountain... but really a great hike all in all. I recommend only taking on this hike if you are fit and nimble as it takes some sense of balance and flexibility. I personally wouldn't bring little kids up there like I saw a few parents did but anyways, it has some great scenery as you can see from 2 pictures I uploaded :) read more

This is a beautiful waterfall located right off the freeway. The hike is well paved and very easy. The trail is lined with trees on either side and benches/picnic tables scattered throughout the trail. The falls themselves are gorgeous. You can take pictures from the trail or climb up to get a closer look. It's a great place to spend an afternoon! read more
