Fodor's Expert Review Bridal Veil Falls Trail

The best hiking in the region tends to be west of Cody and includes this moderately strenuous 4-mile round-trip trek to a dramatic waterfall in Shoshone National Forest, northwest of town. The trail starts out on a wide road that parallels the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River before cutting up alongside Falls Creek—the steep final half-mile to the falls will get your blood flowing.
