Top Of THe Veil2189 viewsBridal Veil is located in DuPont Forest and is a very high falls and with normal waters spreads over a large cascade. The top of the falls, shown here, is where the movie Hunger Games was made.

Only gave it a * rating but, that is to the bottom and expect a 4 plus hike on a good road.
