A Provo Canyon landmark along US-189, once the site of a scenic tramway destroyed by a 1996 avalanche.
Bridal Veil Falls sits in Provo Canyon along US-189, within the stretch of canyon that the Provo River Parkway Trail follows on its way up from Utah Lake. Provo City describes the Parkway Trail as a paved corridor of roughly 30 miles jointly maintained by Provo, Orem, and Utah County, running from Utah Lake into Provo Canyon; the falls are a well-known landmark along this corridor, historically known for a scenic tramway that was destroyed by an avalanche in 1996. We were not able to locate a current government page -- from the Forest Service, Utah County, or Provo City -- that documents the waterfall itself with an official drop height, trail distance, or fee.
Because no managing agency currently publishes falls-specific details on an official page, treat any height or mileage figures found elsewhere online as unverified, and rely on the general trail and road information above to plan a visit. Check current Provo City trail postings and any Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest alerts for Provo Canyon before traveling, since canyon-area conditions such as seasonal ice or rockfall along US-189 can change access without a notice specific to the falls.
