Birdwatching at Bridal Veil Falls UT
"We made it to the Bridal Veil Falls area of the Provo River Canyon as the sun was hitting the upper falls, but the main falls was still in shadow. Soon enough, though, we had swifts emerging for their day of aeronautic acrobatics..." Blogger
Directions: Take the 800 North, Orem exit of I-15 (exit #273) going east on UT 52. After about 4 miles bear left at the US 189 intersection going up Provo Canyon. After about 2 1/2 miles you can turn off at the Bridal Veil Falls/Nunn's Park parking lot to access the Provo River Trail or continue about a half mile to the Bridal Veil Falls overlook which is directly in front of the falls.

Nesting Black Swift - Bridal Veil Falls UT
Black Swift Nesting:
Bridal Veil Falls is one of only two places in Utah with known breeding grounds for Black Swifts (the other is Aspen Grove.) The Black Swifts nest behind the water fall on the rock ledges. When not on the nest, they are usually on the wing all day looking for food. The swifts can best be observed from the overlook immediately in front of the falls early in the morning or in the evening when they return. The Provo River Trail at the bottom of the falls provides a good riparian habitat for birds, especially upstream towards Upper Falls Park.
