Bridal Veil Falls Hike
The Bridal Veil Falls Hike at Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, Colorado is a moderate 6.2-mile out-and-back hike that leads to a backcountry waterfall known as Bridal Veil Falls.Hike
Beautiful and somewhat wooded trail with flowers following a creek. It gets steeper after the trail split and there are a few spots where you can easily slip off the rocks if you're not at least a little careful. Shouldn't be a big deal for most seasoned hikers. One or two small waterfalls on the way through the steeper forested section up to Bridal Veil. Very nice hike.
