"Great hike at the Bridge to Nowhere to Devil’s Gulch waterfall. I loved this trail with lots of river crossings. The Swan rock formation is a great stop for taking pictures. The Blue arrow sign on the rocks are very helpful navigating the trail. Be very careful when getting to the steep slopes. Dipping and swimming in the river at BTNowhere was so refreshing. Lots of interesting ruins along the hike. There were people doing bungee jumping at the bridge: they were so brave! Started the hike to DG waterfall at the Private Property sign. The entrance of the trail is overgrown. The amazing waterfall was lovely and really enjoyable. Absolutely wonderful hidden gem!"

"Long but enjoyable 10-12 mile hike since you are near water almost the entire time (10 miles if you can find parking in the parking lot). Approx. 2-3 hour hike 1-way (depending on your speed and how many times you stop).

DEF pay attention to the parking signs. Police gave out tickets when I went on Sunday (per the police officer). I guess between the bridge and the actual parking lot there are signs that say "no parking" so pay attention. We purchase our $5 permit at the small “café” minutes before the parking lot (I attached a photo of the café) or I believe you can order online.

There were all ages on this hike/ trail. I saw 2-3 people who carried their baby the entire way. I personally would not recommend that but “do what makes you happy.”

Yes, you do have to walk in the water a few times throughout your journey. Sometimes you may feel a little lost on the path but as long as you stay 95% ish between the ridge and the water and or follow the random arrows spray-painted on the rocks, you will get there and back. There are 2-3 “sketchy” areas on the path, just pay attention so you do not slide down the cliff.

We arrived around 1030AM and had to park approx. 1.5 miles from the actual parking lot. During our hike to the destination, we easily passed over 176 people coming back already (yes, we actually counted as we were hiking to the destination). When we arrived at the main spot by the bridge (around 12PM), there was still a lot of people, but it slowly died down to where we had about 30 mins in the area to ourselves. Most places I prefer to start early but I was glad I did not here and IF I go back, I may even go a little later.

Take PLENTY of water and food/ snacks (you will def want it with this long trail). There is plenty of shade and again, you are always near the water so you can relax at any time.

Shoes – we wore our hiking shoes which work well in the water too. And we took off once we settle in a spot near the water (and slipped on our water shoes while hiking shoes were air drying). I wouldn’t wear sneakers but that is my opinion, you wear what you are comfortable in.

IF I was to go back, I most likely would not do the entire trail to the bridge of nowhere. I would take my hammock, chair, foods, drinks and enjoy the sounds of nature and the breezes under the trees (PLENTY of areas you will have your own space once you go in approx. 2-3 miles in). You will actually have more privacy/ peace there than the actual “bridge to nowhere” area because that area is supper crowded."

"Went early in the morning and I was the only one on the trail and made it to the bridge at 8:30 am and had the place to myself for an hour and a half. Was a very peaceful, long and at the same time challenging hike. Coming back was really tough because I was swimming for 2 hours so I was tire and the sun was the worst enemy it was too hot. Still a Greta experience."
