Bridal Veil Falls — Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024

* We got there at 11am on the Saturday after Thanksgiving right as the last parking spaces got snagged.
* 2 pit toilets at the trailhead are closed for the season. Pack out all trash
* Another review suggested bringing a thermos of hot tea. We did this and saw several others at the falls who did as well. Recommended.
* Don't forget your forest pass.
* Beware the brutal traffic backup on Hwy 2 coming west from Gold Bar through Startup to Sultan. At 1:30pm it was just starting to jam up. Can only imagine what it's like once ski season kicks off in earnest. I have heard of people being stuck for 4+ hours. Washington State Dept of Transportation please fix this already!

Quick review
It's pretty much continuous uphill for 2 miles and the last 10 minutes are basically a scramble but the views along the trail, the falls and beautiful quiet of this trail make it worth it.
