Description |
Skyride at Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon, Utah. Utah's most spectacular perennial cascades, these falls measure more than 400 feel in total drop. Their source is springs on the face of Cascade Mountain, an 11,000-foot peak overlooking Provo. In 1961, a gondola skyride was completed from the canyon floor to an observation point overlooking the falls -- 1,250 feet above the lower terminal.
