Bridal Veil Falls has been called one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. The stream gently cascades down a rock face in a way that resembles the veil of a blushing bride on her wedding day. The water drops 122m (400ft) with a width of 23m (75ft). The water comes from a source on Mount Archibald in Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park.

During winter, the falls freezes and becomes unstable and hazardous for viewing. The park is closed at this time for safety. When the falls becomes solidly frozen, ice climbing is allowed and this is a much sought after site for adventurers.

In years gone by, a hydro-electric generator was installed to power a chalet and heated swimming pool. The falls remains one of British Columbia's most scenic and popular locations for photographs and sight seeing. For those who enjoy a refreshing experience, there is the opportunity to slip under the falls and stand in the gentle flow.

This video was captured by drone, one of the best ways to view the falls from bottom to top and beyond. Drifting out over the forest, the drone provides a view of the rim of the falls and the mountain from which the water drops.
