Bridal Veil, OR

The picture on the left is the "Gateway to the Gorge" arch that was installed last year at the entrance to the Troutdale's historic downtown. If you want to see some beautiful scenery you can start here and drive up through Corbett and take the Historic Columbia Gorge Highway.

You will pass winding roads and waterfalls including famous Multnomah Falls. Another historic attraction is Crown Point with the restored Vista House.

Enjoy the breathtaking views from Crown Point and you can take a peek inside Vista House which has been restored.

Views to the west and east up the gorge are spectacular. You will pass Latourell Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Wahkeena Falls, Next stop-Multnomah Falls. After Multnomah Falls there are still more waterfalls; Oneonta Falls and Horsetail Falls before you get back on to I 84 east.

Enjoy the drive and the beautiful Columbia River Gorge!

The Bridal Veil Post Office is a small little post office in the town of Bridal Veil. Bridal Veil doesn’t have much, the fact is all it has left is the post office, a cemetery and a church. This town doesn’t have a lot, but the post office sure is busy!

Why is this post office in this basically a ghost town of a city so busy? Well, the name of course! You see brides drive from hundreds of miles around to have their wedding invitations post marked with the Bridal Veil post mark.

Seems like a crazy tradition, but even my sisters did it and drove the 40 miles to have it done. So, if you are getting married and are about to mail out your wedding invitations, I invite you to head to Bridal Veil in the Gorge near Multnomah Falls and have your special invitations mailed out.
