Bridal Veil Falls / Cow Creek

While the spectacular main body of Rocky Mountain National Park is justifiably famed, the park has several corners worth investigating. Bridal Veil Falls on Cow Creek is one. Located north of Estes Park in the eastern sector of Rocky Mountain National Park, Bridal Veil Falls Trail is a 3-mile, flowery trek to a 20-plus-foot-high waterfall plunging over a dark rock face. Most of the route is quite gentle, but the last segment is a steep rocky pitch to the base of the falls. Wildflower alert: More than 80 wildflower species make for a colorful excursion.
