BRIDAL VEIL FALLS: Pictures of Waterfall Near Telluride, CO - October 23, 2005
|
How to get there: From the town of Telluride,
go east out of town. Take the dirt road through the old mining area (photo directly below)
and continue up the switchbacks. Definitely use a 4-wheel drive vehicle! (I took
this photo in 2002 from the mining area and included it in my Lizard Head Pass pictorial.) |
|
I stuck the camera out of the passenger side of the truck for this one! |
|
Upward you we went with great mountains all around.
west and south ... |

In this shot, I'm looking back out towards
the canyon. The town of Telluride is just out of visibility down the canyon. |
|
There it is! I am actually not that happy with
the quality of my photos. I would estimate the vertical drop to be about 100 to 150 feet and its much more
stunning in person. Enjoy the photos, but I think this is one of those things
where you will need to go there yourself to really take it all in. |

I tried to zoom-in as best as I could on each
waterfall.

Special thanks to my buddy Dave Ortiz (left) for
taking his truck up there ... and one token shot of me amidst the
snow. ;) |
