Just the falls and us

Recently we took a quick stroll up to one of our favorite spots, Bridal Veil Falls. I think there's a Bridal Veil Falls in virtually every state that has a waterfall. You'd think that the pioneers or settlers or explorers or whoever it is that names these things could have become more creative. I mean, yeah, they do look a veil, but do we really need 40 some odd falls to honor that white filmy cloth? Why not Rapunzel's Tresses Falls, or Comet Falls, or Straw Broom Falls or Wigwam Falls. Just one of the various random, and utterly useless, thoughts that course through my wee brain.

Our Bridal Veil Falls (Fabio's Head Falls?) is located just a few miles into Provo Canyon and a short 10 minute drive from our home. It's on a lovely paved bike/running path that follows the river up the canyon, and the path runs directly in front of the falls. When the falls are really flowing, the pool at the bottom will often cover the path.

Since it's on said path, it's virtually always populated with other fall gazers, bikers, roller-bladers and runners. So it's actually quite miraculous that we snapped these shots with no one in the frame but us.How 'bout Vampire Cape Falls?

Maybe not.
