The Bridal Veil Falls is a waterfall near Queenstown, Otago, in New Zealand. It is one of numerous streams and waterfalls in this region. This fall is only notable because it has been given a common name (Bridal Veil Falls), is clearly visible from the road and the stream from this fall runs under the third bridge of the Routeburn Track.[1] This fall is over Torlesse Terrane metamorphic rock.[2]
