The Bridal Veil Falls hike is a moderate, approximately 4-mile round-trip adventure with 1,000 feet of elevation gain, making it a great choice for active beginners ready for a challenge as well as more experienced hikers. The route travels through lush Pacific Northwest forest before becoming steeper as you approach the falls. At the destination, cascading water tumbles dramatically down the mountainside beneath Mount Index, creating an impressive setting—and plenty of refreshing mist! With its manageable distance, beautiful forest scenery, and spectacular waterfall payoff, Bridal Veil Falls packs a lot into a relatively short hike.
