Bridge to Nowhere - Trailhead - La Verne, California

Adam Gonzalez

A great hike ! Slow climb . Plenty of parking if you go early on the weekends, but it does fill up fast . Very popular area for hanging out by the water . It's cool in the morning but heats up fast by noon in the summer time. Use good trail shoes that you don't mind getting wet and dry quickly. There are ropes set up for the faster currents of water. Take plenty of water , hiking pants for bushes that may scrape your legs and snacks if you want to hang out passed the bridge down by the water.

I led a hike here and was mesmerized. The crystal blue waters were serene. We didn’t make it all the way to the bridge due to high temps, but it’s one of my favorite hikes outside of L.A.

Arrive at 7a at the latest to find parking. You’ll cross water many times using a rope to navigate deep pockets and rough currents. Bring extra water to stay hydrated, sun protection, lunch and a change of clothes.

If you’re looking for a break from the city and the heat- this is a great place to cool down and take in gorgeous views.

Great hike with lots of different views. There are a few stream crossings and the water can get to a decent height during the spring months so adequate footwear is a must. There is limited parking so it is best to get to the trailhead in the morning. If you're lucky you may even see some wildlife.

We explored down stream from the Bridge to Nowhere Trail head, the opposite direction of heading to the bridge and found Rock Pools that felt like a slice of heaven. The Aqua waters and calm atmosphere was relaxing. We brought floating toys to play in the refreshing swim holes. We recommend this as a retreat from the summer heat during beach weather for a change of destination. Get away from some crowded areas and check out down stream. Find your own adventure. We made a video on YouTube @hikebytes showcasing this area that few have discovered it’s called. “Rock Pools of the San Gabriel River.” Check it out for visual directions and how to find these water holes.

This is a great hike for the adventurers souls out there. Crossing streams and a couple of steep climbs. It’s a relatively long hike to get to the bridge, but well worth it. Go a mile past the bridge and take a well deserved rest at the stream before heading back. Next time I be better prepared and will bring an extra pair of water shoes with me. Hiking on slippers ain’t fun. Looking forward to do this hike again.

This hike is an amazing trail to Bridge to Nowhere and can be used also to get to Iron Mountain and Devils Gulch Falls if you want to add distance to the hike.

距离比较远，完全是拥抱大自然吧，有清澈清凉的溪水孩子们可以游泳玩水抓鱼，要早点去，要不然路两边停满了车不好找停车位，厕所比较脏旧，其他都还可以，可以惬意舒适的度过一整天

12 river crossings to the bridge and back! If you don't want to get your shoes wet the hike will take SO much longer to finish. For comparison, getting to the bridge and stopping to switch shoes every time took us 3.5 hours. Heading back without changing shoes and just accepting the soaked feet took us about 2 hours and 10 minutes. Other than that little annoyance the hike was very beautiful. So many yucca plants all over the middle of the trail. You might be stabbed by them a little bit when the trail is at its narrowest. Also at the end if you want to bungee jump from the bridge you can for $120 bucks. Only weekends and select hours. I'd suggest looking up the company website to confirm they'll be open however.
