Bridal Veil Falls drops over a rocky cliff in a tall cascade, surrounded by dense forest. A wooden flume or pipe follows the left bank of the stream. The falls sit along the Columbia River Highway, the scenic road built through the Columbia River Gorge in the 1910s. The highway was among the first in the United States planned for automobile tourists, and it made the gorge's waterfalls and viewpoints accessible to a growing motoring public.
