Bridal Veil Falls and Lake Serene 6.29.2014

Do this hike. It is hands down the best one we have done yet. The trail, like many, starts of with a logging road that quickly thins down to a nice narrow path.

Once the falls become audible you can sneak towards them avoiding the switchback and find an excellent view of a tiny but...
