It’s hard to pick one aspect of Colorado to declare the most stunning of all, but if we absolutely had to, it would be our jaw-dropping waterfalls. While we have waterfalls in all sizes and in all corners of the state, the most spectacular of which would have to be this one, in particular, that is just too beautiful for words.

It’s the tallest free-falling waterfall in Colorado, and Bridal Veil Falls is truly a sight to behold, thanks to its unprecedented 365-foot-tall cascading waters.

Bridal Veil Falls can be accessed via hike or 4-wheel drive, which gives visitors an even better glimpse at this all-natural wonder.
