Bridal Veil Falls is only a short distance from Telluride, and is one of Colorado's most photogenic waterfalls. To reach this 300-foot tall cascade, follow a steep, well-maintained dirt road 1.2 miles to the base of the falls, continuing for another half a mile to reach the top. Numerous options exist from the top to extend your ride into the mountains around Telluride.
