New Zealand is a country known for its gorgeous, natural wilderness. People travel there every year to see the world-famous natural beauty of this South Pacific paradise, and this glorious waterfall and others like it, are part of the reason why.
Bridal Veil Falls has carved a place for itself out of the rock in the Skippers Canyon and there is a trail that visitors can take to either view the waterfall from the bottom where it lands in a pool or from the top so that you can look over the edge and marvel at the water's journey on the way down. The rocks that surround the waterfall are mainly sandstone and the power of the water gradually erodes away this...
... kind of rock over time, so that the path of the fall can clearly be traced all the way down. However, a waterfall can only be formed on erosion resistant rock so sandstone is not a rock that will just crumble and erode with the water; it is one that can get worn down over time, but despite its name, it is still a fairly resistant rock on which to base a falls.
The plants and vegetation around the falls are a variety of different species, and some of them are only native to New Zealand and are considered endangered. Therefore, any climbing or hiking directly around the falls is not allowed due to the potential damage to the endangered plants. This view is from a nearby bridge.
