| no partners | | It was already early afternoon. Rosa and I were looking for a nice relatively easy hike. We parked at the Seven Bridges trailhead off of Gold Canyon road, arriving at 2:45 pm. The drive up Gold canyon road was very nice and scenic. There were 2 tunnels on the drive up that were fun to drive through. Some areas of the road are only wide enough for a single vehicle.
Starting off we were walking down a dirt road which had some nice views over the left edge. There was a light rain that started about 20 minutes after we started our hike. We noticed a detour for this trail and followed it. We found out later that the detour bypassed bridge 1 of 7. The trail was maintained very few and there were a few people on it despite that rain. There were some trees that dampened the rainfall. We reached bridge #2 first. Each bridge is labeled by number. Under the bridge there was a stream with fast running water. The trail got a bit steep at times but it wasn't a problem.
We hiked all the way up to bridge #7 and past it. Then, we saw a numbered trail junction from that point that probably went up to a higher point. We were getting hungry for dinner, so we turned around at this point and headed down. When we saw the stairs to our right near the detour sign, we decided to take the stairs down and see what was down there. The trail seemed to dead end at a stream. There was a fallen tree there which we were able to walk across. Then, we saw that the trail continued down from here. This must have been the site of bridge #1 at one time. We even saw some pieces of wood in the stream. The bridge had either been destroyed or purposely removed. Not sure why. Anyway, we kept heading down the trail and reached the same road we were on earlier, a few hundred feet from the original detour going up to bridge #2.
It was a fun hike and the rain was refreshing. The rain stopped near the top when we were coming down. |
