| The dirt trail to the bridge is a short, 1/3 mile loop through a mature oak-hickory and beech forest. As the trail descends to the creek you will come upon an overlook revealing the bridge from above. This natural bridge is made of sandstone, a fairly soft and erodible bedrock. The arch was made by water erosion. The site was a popular tourist spot even in 1877 when the unknown artist's sketch above was drawn. Access is available from Pomona on Highway 127; go west 3 miles. From Alto Pass, go north 4 miles to Pomona Road; go west 3 miles. Follow the signs. |
