In Yosemite National Park, there are many very tall waterfalls. Bridalveil Falls is actually one of the shorter ones in Yosemite Valley. When you drive into Yosemite Valley from the south, though, it's the first one you can visit. It flows between the Cathedral Rocks to the east and the Leaning Tower to the west. Farther upstream, the Glacier Point Road crosses over Bridalveil Creek and there is a campground nearby. Bridalveil Falls gets its name because the valley gets windy, especially in the afternoon, causing the falling water to drift right and left so it comes down more like a sheet or a "veil" instead of one cohesive flow of water. The water then flows into the Merced River.
