She has no idea what she is talking about as far as I know. Supposedly the name is from when the wind will blow a gently flowing fall across the face.Quote

Sorry about the voices on the Bridalveil one. Old dood pontificating.
And of course don't try this at home (I'm not responsible for your actions)
So is it true that the bride's veil of Bridalveil Fall got "wiped out" by the 1997 flood as the lady in your video espouses?

Not really buying it... but I'll admit the more I read about all the history of the park there is so much to learn.Quote

We only went to the point to get into the cave. The trail is trodden by so many peeps that
snowshoes are rarely required until you get to the very top... if at all...
You aren't quite in the BIG switchers at the turn down to the cave... but def. no snowshoes
required. In the past we have walked up to the top and camped up there
and have come down with snowshoes on to about the traverse area.
Normally snowshoeing where a zillion people are postholing is just a pain
in the rump though.
Much like Snow Creek Trail it's rare you have to bust the trail and not very common
to have to put snowshoes on until up on the rim.
If you bring some video enjoyment then going into sleepy bag at 5pm is no biggie.
(sorry foks but I can only stare at the stars for a few hours before needing some
modern technological enjoyment... thank you very much)

Don't get your hopes up too high. The cave is filling up with snow... and
the waterfall may make it quite dicey.

Falling ice might be a problem too. It certainly makes enough noise.
