Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls is a tall horsetail waterfall on Stanley Lake Creek beneath McGown Peak in the Sawtooth Mountains, reached from the Stanley Lake Creek Trail. The named height and exact trail metrics were not verifiable from a single authoritative source, so those fields are left null; reaching the base involves a steep off-trail scramble.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check U.S. Forest Service (Sawtooth National Recreation Area) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
