Bridalveil Fall is a stunning waterfall hike in Yosemite National Park, standing tall at 188 meters (617 feet). It flows year-round and is known for its picturesque beauty. The waterfall originates from Ostrander Lake, about 16 kilometers away. When the wind picks up, the falling water can sway sideways, giving it a mystical vibe that the Native Americans called "Pohono," meaning "Spirit of the Puffing Wind."

The hike is a very short and easy 0.8 miles round trip from the parking lot, making it a must-see natural wonder in Yosemite National Park that will leave you in awe of nature's beauty.
