| Bridalveil Falls, Cathedral Rocks, and the Merced River | |
|
Bridalveil Fall is 620 feet tall and flows year round, but of course it roars with it's greatest force in the spring when snow melt is the heaviest. The primary source of Bridalveil Falls is Ostrander Lake, about 10 miles south of the waterfall which accounts for it's year-round flow. Sometimes, when the wind is really blowing, the waterfall will appear to be falling sideways. When the water flow is light, the falls sometimes don't even reach the ground. |

 The heavily used, short, paved, walkway to the foot of the falls ends here. During a good portion of the year, visitors are sprayed with a heavy mist from Bridalveil Falls. |
