Bridal Veil Falls is a beautiful waterfall in Oregon, United States. It is located in Multnomah County, within the stunning Columbia River Gorge. The waterfall gets its name because its two sections, when full of water, look a lot like a flowing bridal veil.

Exploring Bridal Veil Falls

The Historic Columbia River Highway actually goes right over Bridal Veil Falls on a special bridge. If you want to see the falls up close, there's a parking lot nearby on the highway. From there, a winding path and another bridge lead you to a perfect spot to view the waterfall. It's a great place to visit and enjoy nature!

The Bridal Veil Post Office

Close to the falls, there's a small community also called Bridal Veil. This town has a unique tradition! Many couples who are getting married send their wedding invitations to the post office here. They do this so their invitations will have the special "Bridal Veil" postmark. It's a fun way to add a unique touch to their wedding memories.
