Bridal Veil Falls in Colorado Will Soon Be Surrounded by Beautiful Fall Colors

For exceptional autumn views, there's nothing quite like this Colorado waterfall.

While pumpkin spice everything may seem like the most popular part of fall, the real star of the show is the changing foliage, which is best seen right here in Colorado. While there are dozens of incredible places for leaf-peeping adventures in Colorado, we love to recommend Bridal Veil Falls. In autumn, this tall waterfall is surrounded by the most beautiful fall foliage, and you don't want to miss this extraordinary sight.

Located near the iconic Telluride is the must-visit Bridal Veil Falls, a 365-foot-tall waterfall that is billed as being the tallest in Colorado. Housed atop a rocky cliff, Bridal Veil Falls is arguably one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the state, thanks to not only its magnificent height but also the surrounding trees.

As if you needed another reason to love the area, Bridal Veil Falls comes to life even more in the fall, when its countless trees become ablaze in yellow, red, and orange.

It isn't only the area around the falls that is beautiful, but also the entire landscape! This is the type of place that will make you fall in love with Colorado all over again ... and put autumn at the top of your favorite seasons list.

Bridal Veil Falls can be accessed on foot or in a four-wheel drive vehicle. However, if you choose to hike this waterfall, the trail is approximately 2 miles and features a few steep inclines. However, the views are extraordinary and worth the climb.

There's nothing quite like the views we receive in the autumn months here in Colorado. We are blessed to call the Centennial State home.
