Bridal Veil Falls

We had several weeks of beautiful weather in April, prompting an itch to get out for a hike. After getting the girls off to school, Mark and I set off for a day in RMNP. We chose a nice leisure hike to Bridal Veil Falls (one of many bearing the name). The trail starts at a Historic ranch. 
 It follows Cow Creek 3+ miles upstream before cascading over the edge to create the falls. 
Not quite at the top you run into "bridesmaid falls" ... a little teaser before the real deal.
 
 This location of Bridal Veil Falls isn't all that grand or awe-inspiring, but it's still impressive.
 The 6.5 mile round trip hike was beautiful and moderate, making it ideal. 
 The trail was pretty empty. We only ran into a couple other groups, which is very unusual for Colorado outdoors. Our outing ended with lunch at Poppy's in Estes Park. Pretty perfect day!
