BRIDAL VEIL FALLS
Bridal Veil Falls is a 607 ft tall waterfall in the south end of Provo Canyon. An aerial tramway service to the top of the falls was built in 1967 and the small, six-passenger tramway functioned as a recreational attraction taking you to a resturaunt on the cliffs until an avalanche destroyed the tram in early 1996. (This was the second major avalanche to destroy the tram. The tram and visitor center was rebuilt after the first avalanche, but after the second disaster, it has remained as it is today.) When the tramway was in operation prior to the 1996 avalanche, it was heralded as the "world's steepest aerial tramway"
