The Bridal Veil Falls Trail in Corbett, Oregon is a moderate 0.6 mile out-and-back hike to the base of Bridal Veil Falls in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. Bridal Veil Falls has two main cascades and according to the state park's website, the two cascades in total are about 120 feet tall.
The trail that leads down to the falls is not wheelchair accessible and has a couple of switchbacks before reaching Bridal Veil Creek. Cross the bridge at the creek and follow the trail back uphill for about 60 feet to a lookout point directly in front of the falls.
The entire hike is about 0.6 miles out-and-back and is moderate based on the short distance and elevation gain heading back to parking, which is about 70 feet. This is one of the best waterfalls outside of Portland, Oregon within a short 30 minute drive of the city.
