Nestled in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness near Mount Baldy is the amazing Bridge to Nowhere hike. This delightful hiking trail will inspire you to wonder about the bridge’s original purpose, how it was built, and how you can best capture it in photos! The best way to access this bridge is by taking the East Fork Trail, which itself offers up delightful hidden gems and natural features along the way.

When you first approach the bridge, you’ll see that it almost blends into the rocky mountains around it. The similarly colored wood seems to come out of nowhere when you get closer to it, piquing the curiosity of everyone who walks over.

If you’re feeling really brave, you can join the fearless visitors who bungee jump off the bridge! If you prefer to be an observer, there’s plenty of opportunity for that as well.
