Bridal Veil Falls — Local services in Carnation

This is a hellish hike and definitely not recommended for a family or anyone who has health concerns. Moderate rating is the biggest lie I’ve been told since Santa Claus (if you still believe in him then that was just a joke and be good). If you have back problems, knee problems, ankle problems, you’re obese, can’t already breath or just not wanting to die from many high stairs and rocky unsteady inclines then by all means please go. You’ll be hiking much longer than 1.7 miles my friend so bring your hiking gear and say goodbye to your loved ones before you perish in the wilderness. That being said, once you get to the waterfall it’s beautiful. My tired body didn’t make it to the lake so I can’t give you a review of that but please be warned that the hike is definitely no picnic so leave your cucumber...

This was a really beautiful hike. We struggled to find the parking lot, and the public bathrooms at the bottom were very gross—and no hand sanitizer!

Be aware of the area with the creek and logs where it is hard to find the correct trail—stay to the left and look for the braided metal cord in the ground when you’ve found the right way up. The divergence from the bridal veil trail and lake serene trail is clearly marked by a sign, thankfully. This is a rocky trail, and there are a number of stairs at the very end to reach the falls. Bugs was only a minor annoyance, but we had forgotten but spray. We hiked on a weekday around 10:30am and were back to the parking lot by 1:30pm. Would definitely...

Ohh, it cascades down the rugged cliffs like a silver ribbon unraveling from the heavens, its misty breath whispering ancient secrets into the wind. The roar of the water is a thunderous symphony that commands silence and awe, echoing through the gorge like nature’s own cathedral choir. Each shimmering droplet catches the sunlight and scatters it into a thousand fleeting rainbows, painting the air with wonder. As you stand beneath its ethereal veil, time seems to dissolve caught in a moment where the earth weeps beauty and the soul drinks deeply of its sacred stillness. It is not merely a waterfall; it is a living poem, cascading with the grace of a bride and the power...
