How did Bridal Veil Falls in Utah get its name?

In: Utah [Edit categories]

Answer:

I think that it has something to do with MT. Timpanogas, and the Indian Story. Apparently a young Indian woman was forced to marry, or her groom died, or something (I forget the details) and so she jumped from the cliffs on her wedding day. And they say her spirit still lives on in the canyon. So I think it is Bridal Veil Falls for that reason, at least that is what I remember hearing a long ime ago when I was little.
