BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Waterfalls have extraordinary power and beauty of nature… sparkling and splashing, breaking into a thousand rubble of mist. If you are making your way to Baguio City (via Kennon Road), did you know that there are 4 waterfalls you can visit? Two of which are very much accessible from the highway and the other 2 require a little time of sauntering.

The name is coined from what it looks like a veil of a woman who is going to marry. From a bird’s eye view, it really does resemble like that of a long, flowing veil from a firm rock wall. The water pours down from a towering height before it crashes into a shady catch basin enclosed by boulders.

While it is true that one may admire the waterfalls from afar, it is still best to come near it and experience its water. Getting to the base of the waterfalls is pretty a walk in the park. That is, if one is okay with crossing a quite daunting hanging foot bridge that is noticeably seen from the highway. Well, it isn’t really that difficult to cross the bridge (even if it screeches and swings a bit). Read More: https://nojuanisanisland.com/2015/07/07/bridal-veil/

You can visit the Bridal Veil Falls before going up to Baguio since it’s located at the border between Camp 1 and Camp 2 Kennon Road. But if you’re in Baguio already, ride the public vans located at Harrison – SSS Petron Station, fare is Php 70/pax. Just tell the driver to drop you at Twin Peaks, Colorado Falls. Then after hiking at Colorado, you can either walk or ride a tricyle to go to Bridal Veil Falls.

No hike required to reach Bridal Veil Falls, you can actually see it from the highway and can see it closer by crossing the hanging bridge. There is no fee, just bring your swimwear and enjoy the cold water. Read More: https://journeywithroan.wordpress.com/tag/bridal-veil-falls/
