This a-site-to-behold waterfall can be found along Kennon Road, a few kilometers from the Benguet-La Union boundary. Some believe that the falls got its name from the fact that the water that surges down into the pool below resembles a bridal veil.

The back of the postcard reads:

Bridal Veil Falls is the first of many beautiful waterfalls motorists find
driving through Kennon Road of Baguio City.
