I think that it has something to do with MT. Timpanogas, and the Indian Story. Apparently a young Indian woman was forced to marry, or her groom died, or something (I forget the details) and so she jumped from the cliffs on her wedding day. And they say her spirit still lives on in the canyon. So I think it is Bridal Veil Falls for that reason, at least that is what I remember hearing a long ime ago when I was little.
A marker at the falls has this on it:
"Many moons ago, an Indian named Norita and a brave from a rival tribe, named Grey Eagle met and fell in love. They planned to meet near a streamlethigh on the mountainside and elope to a land far away from both their tribes. On that fateful night, instead of her lover, Norita was confronted by braves from her own tribe. Fearing her lover had been destroyed she leapt from the high ledges.
From
Mother Nature was touched by her wild beauty, and she caught up Norita'sstreaming tresses and made from them a Bridal Veil of falling water. From her flowing gown an alter was formed on the face of the mountain. Then her spirit was sent out as a mist, causing a green carpet to spread over themountainside.
The intruders fled while her lover stood and gazed down at the strange yet beautiful transformation. His grief was more than he could bear, so out of compassion for his sorrow, Mother Nature molded his massive frame into the mountain and stretched his mighty shoulders high into the heavens like silent sentinels to guard over his loved one. His cries of anguish were softened into love calls to whisper forever."

Utah is strange when it comes to Trick-or-Treating. If Halloween falls on a Sunday, Trick-or-Treating usually takes place the day before Halloween. But since this hear Halloween falls on a Monday, Trick-or-Treating will take place on Halloween as usual.
