Bridal Veil Falls (Telluride)

Bridal Veil Falls is a 365-foot (111 m) waterfall at the end of the box canyon overlooking Telluride, Colorado.

Hiking and off-road trails pass by the falls and it has a hydroelectric power plant at its top.

In winter the frozen shape of the falls forms an imposing challenge to intrepid ice climbers.

In 1978, Jeff Lowe and Mike Wiess became the first ice climbers to summit the falls, their effort having been broadcast on ABC's Wide World of Sports.

[3] The falls were opened briefly in the 1990s to ice climbers, but the area is private property so climbing has been legally prohibited since.
