Hike to Bridal Veil - 11.7.10

Heather had never been to Bridal Veil Falls in DuPont, so we decided to put together a hiking loop that would include them. I basically just decided on a variation of a loop that I usually ride, which turned out to be a pretty darn long hike. We were out there for a good 4-5 hours hiking, and playing on the falls. We parked at Fawn Lake access and from there the route was Reasonover Creek Tr.>Lake Julia Rd.>Conservation Rd.>Shelter Rock Tr.>Barn Tr.>Bridal Veil Falls Rd.>Bridal Veil Falls>Corn Mill Shoals Tr.>Shelter Rock Tr.>Airstrip Tr.>Conservation Rd.>Fawn Lake Rd. It was kind of a long one, and we were both spent, but very happy, at the end of it.

It was the perfect way to spend such a great day, and right now we are enjoying the perfect way to finish the day, hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps.

  1. This looks fantastic.
    Greenery & water. Two things we don't have out here, but I miss the most about the Right side of the big muddy.
    That, and the dramatic changes in seasons, and a non-Californian populace, you picked a good place!

  2. Yeah, we could not be happier with our decision to move here. Pisgah and DuPont have been magical places for me for many years.
