The guide books all tell you this hike is rated as easy, and it is for the first 2.5 miles, but then it's steep grades and rock climbing! From the Cow Creek Trailhead it's 3 miles to the falls and the elevation gain is 1,060 feet and it's mostly in that last mile. Along the way we didn't see any wildlife except the backside of a far off deer, but there are fields of wildflowers that are beautiful.
This is Bridal Veil Falls. It really is a beautiful waterfall once you get past the huffing and puffing from the steep trail.
Roundtrip the hike is 6 miles, so if you want to see this waterfall start early! Cow Creek Trailhead is also pretty hard to find, so be sure to grab a RMNP map.
