BRIDAL VEIL FALLS WALK
Bridal Veil Falls is roughly a 2-hours’ drive away from Christchurch or 1.5-hours’ from Greymouth. The road surface is always sealed.
From the parking follow a moderate 1,5-hours’ return Bridal Veil Falls track. First 5-10 minutes the track follows a popular Devils Punchbowl Waterfall Track, then it branches off and climbs to a hill. Within 20-25 minutes you reach a wooden lookout platform which provides a view of the waterfall. Unfortunately, there is no other spot along the track where you can see the falls better or closer.
From here, you can either return (total walking time: 40-45 minutes) or continue to walk the track. The track descends to the Bridal Veil Creek and crosses it via a footbridge. A lower waterfall (honestly, more cascades than a waterfall) is seen from this bridge. If you decide to continue the walk, then you need to either organize transport from the other end of the track (total walking time: 45 minutes) or return via the same track (total walking time: 1.5 hours).
This walk takes through beech forest along a wide open track in Arthurs Pass National Park.
Beautiful moss and lichen covers the ground through the first section of the walk, beautiful.
On a fine day, the light shimmers through the forest tress creating amazing light and shadows.
Trees grow and twist through the bush and looked like they are knotted together.
Keep you eyes open as you will discover other hidden falls along the walk tucked in amongst the incredible scenery.
Great place for a walk and for someone who enjoys photography and nature.
Another little hidden fall.
Waterfalls in all types are seen on the lovely short walk.
Water traces itself through the moss covered rocks before continuing through the bush line.
