Bridal Veil Falls
These stunning waterfalls, at 365 feet in length are the tallest free falling falls in Colorado, entice many people to hike, bike or four-wheel drive up the road.
From Pandora Mill to Bridal Veil waterfalls and the power plant, it is a 1.8 miles and a 1,200 foot elevation gain on a rocky road. Or you can just bike to the bottom of the falls and get energized in the midst of the mist.
Directions: Go east through town on Colorado Avenue toward the mountain, pass the old Pandora Mill on your left and follow the road marked County Road. Continue on this dirt road and go up the switchbacks for 1.2 miles to the bottom of falls, or go the extra .6 miles to the top of the falls. You don't have to stop here, though. The gate is the trailhead (next to the privately owned historic power plant) for rides to the awesome Bridal Veil Basin. Be aware of hikers, their dogs and 4x4 vehicles.
Coming Soon! The Telluride Historical Museum will be presenting the Bridal Veil Power Plan Open House this September. Details to come.
