Before you go

Fees, access, and what people get wrong here.

  1. The access road into the park is extremely steep with tight switchbacks. Trailers and RVs are not permitted.
  2. The four viewpoints are short paved walks; getting down under the bridge itself requires scrambling on wet rock.
  3. Trails to the creek bed close in the early afternoon, earlier than the park gate.
