  • Make sure to adjust quality to 1080p60 before watching Come along with me and my pup as we venture through the lovely Bridge to Nowhere hike. This is one of my favorite hikes I've ever done! What an amazing day. It's definitely a challenge, as it's 10 miles round trip. But it's so worth the push. It's pretty level with rocky terrain, about six river crossings, a ton of sun (very little shade), and an amazing swimming hole section of the river once you reach the bridge. Definitely wear appropriate footwear and lots of sunscreen. Also pack plenty of water as it will be a long and exhausting day. For more info on the trail and the history of the bridge check out this article which I reference in the video as well (www.hikespeak.com/trails/brid.... It took about an hour to drive to the trailhead from LA, and it was about 6 hours round trip with some chill / swimming time below the bridge before making the trek back. I highly recommend checking out this trail! It's a great bucket list activity. All footage was filmed with my GoPRO HERO 8 and my DJI Mavic Air drone

    Great video. I did the hike two days ago with my 11 year old daughter and we had a blast. It was our first time so we was off the trail a lot, although it was very fun, the climbing, crawling and rock climbing made it harder than it should. Stay right going up, stay left going down. Best advice of the trail. Poison ivy and the sticky plants are present here so be aware. I can't wait to go back and explore more, it is a very adventurous trail. Hiking is life!

      Hiking definitely is life! I so agree. And that’s incredible you completed this one with your daughter. She is a trooper! What a feat. This is definitely one of my favorite hikes of all time. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it so much too. The way you described everything is spot on! Thanks for tuning in to the video 😊 Happy hiking!

Not positive on the permit but check at the trailhead for a permit box. If there is one it’s free and you just fill out the info right there so bring a pen.

      Yes Iron mountain is to the right when you get to the map and if you go straight pass the map and follow the river you'll get to the bridge. If you did Iron mountain you should have no trouble doing the bridge.. I have done Iron mountain and rattlesnake peak and rattlesnake peak has a great view of the bridge from up there. I post it on alltrails and Google maps of it..
