Feb 17, 2018 — An old roadbed leads down from the trailhead to access a couple of historic sites using the Grand View Trail. A split in the trail shortly after starting the hike separates the two destinations. I first went left to the small, historic Salado Canyon Trestle, a restored bridge. I then continued along the flat, wide, and popular trail to some old abandoned buildings just north of Bridal Veil Falls. The falls were just trickling over red rock slabs and not very tall, but it's a pretty spot. Cute little outing.
