Bridal Overlook Trail is a steep singletrack leading up to an excellent viewpoint overlooking the northern part of the Forest and Bridal Veil Falls. The trail up is very rocky in places and is an aerobic workout with a steep climb most of the way. When you get to the end of the trail, the overlook point is tucked behind some trees and bushes but it is there if you look.
