Bridal Veil Falls out of Cow Creek, class A


Details
This is a lovely hike (6.2miles out and back), well maintained trail, through open meadows of wildflowers, lush forest and over a rock field where we find a raging waterfall in all its glory! We start at 7,847 ft elevation and gain 1,070 ft at the falls. It is a reasonable 3 miles up to the cascade except the last quarter mile where we cross some challenging rocks. There are 3 flat annd safe log bridge crossings along the way. This hike will be at an approximate 2mile/hr pace or 30 minute mile.
We will meet at Jax west and, due to limited parking at the trailhead, LEAVE Jax at 6am. Drive share for this 94 mile (total) ride is $9 to your driver. We need a second driver please and someone else with an annual parks' pass. Please let me know.
Please bring plenty of water, rain gear, light gloves, poles, all the regular preparedness items, lunch, snacks (I will bring lemon/poppy seed bread to share). Check the weather at: https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/co/estes-park
