Located in Provo Canyon is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Utah — Bridal Veil Falls. This is a popular destination for individuals of all ages in the summer, but the winter provides just as stunning of views. In fact, during the winter, this Utah waterfall and surrounding area transform into a natural ice palace that is magical in every single way.

However, we suggest hopping out of the car and exploring the area — it’s well worth the effort.
Bridal Veil Park sits adjacent to the falls and is the perfect place to spend a summer evening. While this park is busy during the warmer months of the year, in the winter, it is an excellent place for a little peace and quiet in nature.

To the side of the falls is the Stairway to Heaven, where you may just catch a glimpse of ice climbers working their way up the icy falls. Keep in mind, the climb up the Stairway to Heaven is very dangerous and not for beginners. Those new to ice climbing can hone their skills at the base of Stairway to Heaven in a much safer environment.
