Bridal Veil Falls

These photo's were shot at Bridal Falls in Rosedale, just east of Chilliwack. My wife and I went on one of the warmer day's in May figured we would see some good flow dropping down the mountain side. I was disappointed at first as from the highway the promise of rushing water cascading down seemed to dawn a trickle. As we hiked, 15 min tops, the roar of a spring freshet could be heard and the process of alluvial erosion perked my nerdy geography side. Provided below is a topographic map from, natural resources Canada, at a scale of 1:75000 Grid zone 92H4, point of reference Chilliwack is located in 92H then 92H is broken down further,i.e. the 4 after the H, so a larger scale can be used to show more detail. Here is the website for the online topographic maps http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/maps/topo/map its interesting to look at. Anyways after examining the topographic map I learned that Bridal falls originates off of Mt. Archibald and not Cheam,which is what I assumed.
Cheam Peak from Harrison:
Also another interesting website is river forecast website it shows the snow pillows and what there status is whether they are above or below normal and has some interesting graphs showing what has happened and is happening and compares them to trends of the average, maximum and minimum ranges. The link is http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/rfc/river_forecast/snowp_map.htm. The closest snow pillow to Bridal Falls is Wahleach Lake which is located about South West of the Cheam Peak. What this can show is when runoff or the freshet is occurring and that is when the waterfalls will be cascading the best.
So enjoy these shots.

This rock came flying down the Falls from the top about 400ft up. The rock bounced 5 ft from my head over a guys head below me and landed a few feet from my wife in the standing area. You can walk up to the falls but be aware of falling rocks, this rock is about 8"x8"x6" (L x W x H)

Water flowing away from the falls:

I was impressed by the waterfall at this time of year if you go up in summer it is still nice but the water flow will be down to half or lower to what the spring run off will show you.
