Hike Description
This is another of those supershort hikes. Still, it makes a great stroll for kids or the elderly. This trail starts from the east end of the lot as a flat, paved trail. Soon, it changes to gravel and works it way down in one lng switchback to Bridal Veil Creek. There's a staircase down the side of the valley and a beautiful wooden arch bridge over the creek. The trail then climbs to a wooden lookout with a view of Bridal Veil Falls. This watercourse ran nearly dry for decades as the nearby lumber mill used the water. Now the mill is a memory and Bridal Veil Falls has returned. Many, many names and hearts are carved here in the handrails of the lookout. Hikers in the park should check out the Bridal Veil Loop Hike, as well.
