Bridge to Nowhere Hike. w/ waterfall AND abandoned mine & a Trash Pickup Hike”””

The Bridge To Nowhere hike is a bucket list hike for many.

While the destination is a draw . . . so is the terrain to get there.

River crossings abound. Great hike to beat the heat.

Along with the main hike to the bridge . . . we will ALSO visit to the hidden and often missed waterfall. As well as one of the abandoned mines.

There are also some swimming holes we can visit too.

This hike is close to the Tunnels to Nowhere . . . but that’s a different hike we will do another time.

The deets:
10 mi
Elevation change 1250ft
Several river crossings
5 to 6hrs. 7 if you add the waterfall and mine.

Dogs OK . . . but they have to be able to cross water w/current, or be carried.

Great hike that you can cool down again and again as we make river crossings.

To attend this event:

The form is a safety thing. If you do not fill it out. You will not be hiking with us.
You can also fill out the form if only interested and want to stay in the loop.

Now . . . let’s talk about the day of . .
Parking . . . There is a small lot at the trailhead. It will prob have spots open to 7:30AM . . . By about 8 that will all be filled. What I am saying you will likely be parking about a 1/4 or 1/2 mile walk from the trailhead. So to be there on time . . . arrive early.

Get there early . . . I will have coffee
Bring your lightweight camping chair . . . we can sit and hang out till folks arrive.

We will be brining plastic bags with us and we will be filling them on the way out.

Get out and hike.
Do some social with others.
Do some good too.

Parking Permit . . . You will need an “Adventure Pass.”

BUT . . . if you have regular National Parks Annual Pass . . . that will count and work perfectly. Nothing else needed.

Carpool? Post on the MAIN group your carpool request.
