"Bridal Veil Falls" According to a contested Native American legend of dubious origin a girl named Norita fell in love with Grey Eagle, a young man from a rival tribe near Provo Canyon’s Bridal Veil Falls. The couple planned to elope, but Norita was discovered by her elders from both tribes, who told her they had killed her lover. Overwhelmed with grief, Norita leaped from the mountain to join him in the afterlife. Out of compassion for Norita, Mother Nature transformed her hair into “a bridal veil of falling water” and then took Grey Eagle, who had escaped the elders, and “molded his massive frames into the mountain” so that he could watch over Norita forever. Multiple versions of this legend have circulated in the region for decades, and while the veracity of their origin is dubious, they all speak to the mystique and romantic character of Bridal Veil Falls’ dramatic vista.
