Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.
At over a hundred years old and hidden among one of the most beautiful areas of North Dakota, this particular bridge is truly remarkable. It’s a bit off the beaten path yet still worth the extra miles to see how lovely and peaceful this spot is, and see the incredible view from on it. Check it out for yourself and visit it to this season for the ultimate experience.
The Pembina Gorge is an absolutely spectacular part of North Dakota, especially in the summer and fall when it is lush with color. Take a drive through the gorge and you'll find some amazing hidden spots.
One of those hidden spots is the Brick Mine Bridge, a bridge spanning over the Pembina River on an unnamed dirt road. It is a type of truss bridge that is rarely found in North Dakota.
As you can see on the plaque below, it was originally built all the way back in 1905 and has been recently restored to keep its iconic look but in fresh paint to bring it back to its original glory.
When standing on the bridge, you'll see just why this area is so well-known for nature enthusiasts and just about everyone else: it's breathtaking! The dense trees and hills surrounding the river create truly picturesque scenes.
The area is lush and green in the summer and turns into a dazzlingly colorful sight in the fall. With such an interesting historic bridge and lovely views like this, everyone should visit it at least once.
The Brick Mine Bridge is located on an unnamed road along the Pembina River between the town of Walhalla and Frost Fire Park. You can find an exact location by clicking here.
