Devil’s Bridge
Cappie’s Scoop: I didn’t know what I was in for when we started to hike this trail. I should’ve known when mom said the “devil’s bridge” that it would be scary. We walked out onto the bridge and I looked at mom thinking we should turn back because there are no walls on either side! But mom said we will walk very slow and then sit down. That worked for me. We got a picture to remember this moment and then I said “lets gooooo!” Be careful furiends and stay close to your pawrents if you go! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: There are a few starting points. We began at the Mescal trailhead on Long Canyon Rd and hiked from Mescal to Chuckwagon trail to Devil’s Bridge.
Directions: Continue on Dry Creek Road to the stop sign at the intersection of Long Canyon Road, turn right and travel 0.2 miles to the Mescal Trailhead on the right. Use the signed Mescal-Chuckwagon trail connection to reach Devils Bridge Trailhead. The round trip to Devils Bridge from this trailhead is 4 miles.
