Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls is a waterfall in Alberta, Canada's Banff National Park. It begins in the Huntington Glacier on the Cirrus Mountain slopes. Its waters flow into Nigel Creek, then into the North Saskatchewan River near the Icefields Parkway's Big Bend. It has a drop of 1,200 feet (370 meters) and a breadth of 20 feet (6.1 m). The falls are accessible by a 15-minute walk through rich flora that includes cedars, hemlocks, and ferns. There are picnic tables accessible, and there are several opportunities to see animals along the way. Mount Cheam, where the falls are located, is also a favorite hang-gliding and paragliding location for those seeking a bird's eye perspective. The Bridal Veil Falls is one of Alberta's most popular attractions.

There are two parking spaces and two access to the falls: one from the steel stairway near to the falls and another a few hundred yards down the path. Highway 540 provides access to both gates. The waterfall and trail system are easily accessible thanks to a modest parking area. During the warmer months, arrive early or find a parking place on the side of the road.
