Description

This trail is sure to delight your inner geologist. A short and relatively easy singletrack trail will lead visitors first above, and then below the Sky Bridge. Follow the signs out across the rock bridge where you might not even notice that you're atop a large arch. It's impossible not to note your location as the trail descends the other side, and as you admire the arch from below. The trail can be a bit snug in places, but it's generally well worn trail and easy to access.

After seeing several natural bridges out West, I was excited to do this trail. It did not disappoint! Short and sweet, but the bridge is awesome! 0.8mi
