Luna Island is the best spot for both falls.

Yes, the footbridge from Goat Island to Luna Island puts you right between American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. You can see both at once, close enough to feel the mist.

From there, walk to the end of Luna Island for an even better angle — you’re basically standing in the middle of the action. Terrapin Point on Goat Island is good too, but it’s a bit farther from Bridal Veil.

Bring a rain jacket. You’ll get wet. Worth it.
