We drove to the trail head (thankfully we had rented a 4x4), so that cut about 2 miles off the hike. I highly recommend doing this if you can. The hike itself was scenic and not too hard. Both of my parents, in their late 50s and in relatively good shape, made it without any problem. Make sure to stop... More

I've seen the trail guides listing this as a moderate hike. That is a relative term. If you only use 3 ratings (easy, moderate, hard) then moderate is appropriate. But... it is pretty easy on the jeep road, and the first half of the trail itself. The second half was more challenging, but the trail is so well made, the... More

We took the scenic way in - not the road - and that was a definite warm up to the actual trail. Make sure you wear good hiking or walking shoes. No flip-flops - crazy people. The "bridge" is amazing and I didn't have the courage to go out on it. Beautiful!

We chose the Devil's Bridge as our next adventure. The trail description noted that it was a moderate hike of only 0.8 miles one way, but that the trailhead was on an unpaved road not recommended for the faint-hearted. Our trusty Quest should be up for the challenge, we thought, until we came to the unpaved turnoff and found it... More

We did this hike a few years ago and it remains a wonderful memory, tucked away far from paved roads

Take lots of water with you on this hike. This is a long hike to get to the bridge but it is well worth the trip. Make sure to take in a view from the bottom. Many places to stop for a rest so pace yourself.

Getting to and walking on to Devil's Bridge were two completely different experiences for me. I'll start with the latter. The hike up to Devil's Bridge was pretty easy for me (perhaps moderate for those who are not comfortable walking on/around uneven terrain and rocks). Unfortunately because I was so focused on looking down at where I was stepping, I... More

And we've been to a lot. You hike up to a natural bridge, tucked in next to a mountain, not visible from any settled place. Most people walk out onto the bridge, which has a flat top, and an arched underside as if it was built by man, but it's completely natural. Not the only such place in America (I... More

The day we hiked it was 110 degrees! We parked in the parking lot and walked the 1.5 mile trail to the trail head. Next time we will definitely rent a jeep to drive to trail head. Once at the trail head it was all uphill from there. Very scenic and beautiful. The bridge looks way more intimidating than it... More

There are two parking options for this hike: a paved parking lot and a dirt lot. Both require a Red Rock Pass ($5 per day or $15 per week). Parking at the paved lot adds about a mile each direction to the hike. There is a pit toilet at the paved lot. There is not a kiosk for purchasing a... More
