Mist over Bridalveil Fall

In the spring (late May,) Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National Park is at its best! The water is coming down hard if the winter ice has done its melting and is amazing to photograph up close… Many afternoons you can see great colors in a rainbow near the bottom of the falls and the water spray is invigorating! The Bridalveil Creek can also provide a great photo opportunity as you walk up the viewpoint.

However, there are many views of the valley and this great fall such as at or near the Wawona Tunnel where this photograph was taken early in the morning to capture the fog layters over the valley. You can also hike to Artist Point or travel to Bridalveil View which also shows Ribbon Falls.

Some more Information (source Wiki)
The Ahwahneechee tribe believed that Bridalveil Fall was home to a vengeful spirit named Pohono which guarded the entrance to the valley, and that those leaving the valley must not look directly into the waterfall lest they be cursed. They also believed inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall would improve one’s chances of marriage.

    Gorgeously epic Steve. Love how the mist swirls and sways throughout the treetops and amongst the rocks. Such a magnificent place and captured in a less traditional (brightly sunlit) way adds a real sense of atmosphere.
