Bridal Veil Falls (Utah)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the waterfall in Utah. For other places by the same name, see Bridal Veil Falls.
Bridal Veil Falls is a 607-foot tall double cataract waterfall in the south end of Provo Canyon, Utah. An aerial tramway service to the top of the falls was built in 1967 and the small, six-passenger tramway functioned as a recreational attraction until an avalanche destroyed the tram in early 1996. When the tramway was in operation prior to the 1996 avalanche, it was heralded as the WORLD'S STEEPEST AERIAL TRAMWAY, although that claim is difficult to ascertain. The falls were a feature point along the route of the Heber Creeper tourist train until the train discontinued its service past the falls. The train tracks in front of the falls were removed and converted into a recreational trail. Now The falls and a small park just west of the falls (Bridal Veil Park) can also be accessed via U.S. Highway 189.
