Reviewed visitor source

Start at the Douglas Spring Trailhead at the eastern end of Speedway Boulevard in Saguaro National Park East and walk toward the shade structure to begin the Douglas Spring Trail. Keep left at the marked junctions until the Bridal Wreath Falls junction, then turn right onto the short falls trail, which crosses a stream and ends at the base of a multi-tiered fall. Only the lower tier can be seen from the base; there is no established trail to the top.

Plan your visit

Douglas Spring Trail from the Douglas Spring Trailhead, then the signed Bridal Wreath Falls spur to the right

Round trip distances are from one trail guide and vary between sites (5.6 to 5.9 miles). The trail guide does not give a separate length for the falls spur.

Well-kept trail with steps on steep parts, mostly climbing on the way out, little shade, and a rocky stream crossing near the falls.

Where to start

Designated parking area at the trailhead on the south side of the east end of Speedway Boulevard; in busy season cars also line the road side. No trailhead facilities are listed. The area is open at all hours and valuables should not be left in cars.

Timing & water

The falls run only after rain; a trail guide warns they may be dry after a long dry spell.

Before you go

A park entrance pass is required (the NPS lists a standard pass at $15 to $25, valid 7 days); the fee is paid at the park entrance, not at this trailhead.
