- Meadow and forest trail followed by a narrow informal path above a rocky gorge. Stay back from the rim. This guide does not recommend scrambling down for a view.
The maintained Stanley Lake trail connects to a narrow Lady Face Falls side path. Visit Idaho describes partial views from above, but a firsthand report published in March 2026 found the named falls obscured from the rim. A clear waterfall view is not guaranteed.
Plan your visit
From Stanley Lake Trailhead walk along FR 649 and turn left onto Stanley Lake Creek Trail #640. Follow it toward Bridal Veil Falls, then take the Lady Face Falls side path to the granite gorge and view from above. Return the same way.
