  Flows: all year, with peak flow in May. In spring, it thunders; during the rest of the year, look for its characteristic light, swaying flow. Bridalveil Fall is visible near the tunnels on the Wawona Road (Highway 41) or Big Oak Flat Road (Highway 120) and from a signed parking lot on your way into Yosemite Valley... and you can walk to the base in just a few minutes.
