Tips

The stunning falls rush high above the mountain town of Telluride. At the top of the box canyon you can see a solitary building: the power plant that produces hydroelectricity. The trail and road up to Bridalveil Falls can still be snow covered by the end of June or even July if it is a high snow year. From the parking lot below you can take a short walk to this view of the waterfall, including the impressive switchbacks that wind up the mountain.

From the top of these 365 feet, the spectacular Bridal Veil Falls are the highest of the Colorado waterfalls.

You should know that this is also the name of one of the Niagara Falls.
