Hike Description:
There are multiple ways to get here, I think this is the shortest route. Study the map for alternatives. At the Fawn Lake trailhead, go right to get on Conservation Road and go for 1.5 miles to Bridal Veil Falls Road and turn left. Follow this road for half a mile to the end, it becomes a trail and descends to the base of the waterfall. There is a viewpoint on the way down where you can see the entire waterfall.
Continue down to the rocks at the base, though you can't see the upper section from here.
If the rocks are dry, you can climb up the exposed rock to the upper veil section of the falls.
It's possible to get behind the veil.
