Provo Canyon Scenic Byway
Bridal Veil Falls, UT

The magnificent falls are just four miles up the Provo Canyon. Foaming water rushes off two levels and crashes to the base where the runoff joins the Provo River. The falls are a favorite with visitors and locals alike. They can be seen from a scenic highway pullout or by taking an exit to where the base of the falls meets the Provo River. There is a small, cold swimming hole, and if you look carefully, you will find a dirt path that will take you up the mountain a bit for a closer view of the falls. The surrounding area is great for summer hiking and several trailheads begin at the falls.

Bridal Veil falls is not only a summer attraction. In the winter, an icefall just to the right of the falls attracts experienced ice climbers. The icefall has been aptly named the Stairway to Heaven. The falls once had an aerial tramway; however, as of July 2002, the tramway is still in disrepair from an avalanche in 1997.
