"An easy stroll to visit the Bridal Veil Falls Waterfall and Water Wheel. Head South on 17th Street- just a block off Miner Street. Starting at Harold Anderson Park, you’ll want to take a gander at Locomotive #60, one of five remaining steam engines that ran on the narrow gauge rails of the Colorado and Southern Railway. Kids will love the train and the other sites along this short jaunt. The Charlie Taylor Waterwheel Trail leads under Interstate 70 then goes west for about 1/10th of a mile before it arrives at the best viewing area for Bridal Veil Falls. The waterfall spills out of Soda Creek high above, making its way then into Clear Creek, a stream famous for its gold, river rafting, and Coors Beer. The water wheel that’s just north of Bridal Veil Falls was built in the late 1800’s by a local miner, Charlie Taylor. Taylor used the water wheel to drive a machine called a stamp mill–imagine a big hammer that grinds and crushes rock to get silver and gold ore out of it. It was relocated from Ute Creek to its present location by a group of volunteers in the 1980’s and now belongs to the Idaho Springs Historical Society."
