When the leaves in Utah start to turn, the Wasatch Mountain becomes a blaze of vibrant hues. The fall palette of red, orange, and yellow brightens up the scenery and makes everything just a little bit more beautiful. Bridal Veil Falls in Utah is no exception. This gorgeous waterfall is easy to access and is only about an hour south of Salt Lake City., If you can make some time to see it during the fall season, I promise that you'll be rewarded with some special autumn views.
It's an easy journey to get to Bridal Veil Falls. The waterfall is right off US 189, about four miles up Provo Canyon.
There's a large parking lot conveniently located right at the waterfall...
...and you'll have some beautiful views right from your car. You can take photos from the parking lot and enjoy the fall colors on the mountains surrounding you.
There are plenty of fall foliage views here, and if you're in a hurry to be somewhere else, just pulling in and getting a glimpse might be good enough.
But if you've got some time to explore, why not hop out of the car and get a closer look? The Bridal Veil Falls Trail will take you from the parking lot to the base of the falls, and you can even climb another path to get close up to the water.
As you walk down the path, you'll be literally surrounded by the vibrant colors of fall.
Bridal Veil Falls in Utah is a 607-foot-tall waterfall that tumbles down the mountain in tiers. This beauty is always an impressive sight, but she's even more gorgeous when decked out in fall foliage.
Continue along the Bridal Veil Falls Trail right to the bottom of the waterfall, or take the hiking trail up the side of the mountain, where you'll be just a few feet away from the crashing water that descends from the second cataract of the falls. Going out onto the rocks near the falls is dangerous, especially during fall months when they can be covered with ice.
If you choose to hike up the side of the mountain, take extreme precautions and pay attention to any warning signs you encounter. The Bridal Veil Falls Trail can be covered with loose shale, and people have occasionally fallen here and been seriously injured.
When you're visiting Utah in the fall, take a stroll down the pathway along the Provo River for even more autumn splendor.
You can extend your adventure by following the Provo River Parkway 2.5 miles up the canyon to Vivian Park.
Unlike some of Utah's waterfalls, which require a strenuous hike to see them up close, Bridal Veil Falls is an easy adventure. Make sure to visit here, and Utah in the fall, while the leaves are still vibrant!
