Bridal veil falls

Coming out of Raglan (surfer's paradise), we drove out 17k on a side road to check out Bridal Veil falls.
This waterfall is a short 10 min walk thru the "bush" & then opens to a stunning view:


The falls is 165' down. We walk the 261 stairs down to the bottom & it's worth it- gorgeous & louder. You can feel the mist from the water hitting the pool even though you are quite far from the fall itself.


Everything behind & around the falls is so lush & green, as you can imagine tropical plants thrive in this sunny misty location!!


261 stairs up was a bit of a workout!! Why is down so much easier than up?!
Unbeknownst to us ( but learned while at the falls), is that this water originates & travels from Pirongia Mountain ( where we were married), and ultimately creates this "bridal veil". We think this is cool & quite ironic!! :)
