Hiker Tips
- •Start before 7am in summer — the bridge area gets packed by 9am year-round
- •The final push to the bridge is a steep class 3 scramble; use both hands
- •Cell service is spotty past the Mescal Trailhead — download offline maps
- •The narrow slickrock walkway across the bridge is the real highlight; take your time
