Hiking - Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls in Franconia. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

In a column a couple of years ago, I suggested Bridal Veil Falls in Franconia as a great waterfall to visit. For those of us in the Mount Washington Valley, it offers a nice day excursion to the western side of the mountains, seeing new places and doing a substantial, yet, fairly easy, 2.5-mile walk to your objective. Then, a stop in Franconia Village afterward for an ice cream.

I had been wanting to go there for years. What made it more mysterious was that it was a favorite place of the son of a good friend. He visited it a few times, taking photographs. He died in an avalanche in Montana, and later his mother made a pilgrimage to the falls.
