Bridal Veil Falls

The water descends from Huntington Glacier on Cirrus Mountain through multiple tiers, reaching a total height of 366 meters with a width of 6.1 meters.

The waterfall forms part of the drainage system into Nigel Creek, which connects to the North Saskatchewan River at the Big Bend of the Icefields Parkway.

Parks Canada maintains this natural formation as part of Banff National Park's protected areas, preserving its geological and environmental significance for future generations.

Visitors can observe the falls from a designated pullout area along Highway 93, approximately 13.5 kilometers south of the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre.

The waterfall operates on a seasonal cycle, with its flow varying based on the melting patterns of the Huntington Glacier at 2,200 meters elevation.
