Cave of the Winds [at the foot of Bridal Veil Falls]
The Cave of the Winds was a natural opening behind the Bridal Veil Falls. The cave, which measured 130 feet (forty meters) high, 100 feet (thirty meters) wide, and 30 feet (nine meters) in depth, was accidentally discovered by two boys from a neighboring village in 1834 and was initially named Aeolus after the ancient Greek god of the winds. Unfortunately, in 1954, a massive rockfall destroyed the cave. Nevertheless, visitors can access the site and stand before the Bridal Veil Falls.
