Seven Bridges Trail

GREAT family friendly trail. A little crowded during the day, but loved the opportunity to easily hike with my family (and one year old). Highly recommend continuing to hike after the 7 bridges trail starts going up the mountain. PHENOMENAL views!

Starts out little flat and boring and than it turns out the best hike you had. Yes, kids can count the bridges, you will get the workout and you all will spend splenid time outside. Must do while in the area. Parking is limited and your can park in the parking lot below, it is a short stroll up. Highly recommend

Mostly shaded in and out trail along the river. I would recommend good gripping hiking boots and some water. It's a little less than 4 miles round trip from the large parking lot. We went late morning during the week and there was plenty of parking. The winding road is fairly narrow.

Great trail and dog friendly! Out and back trail with a steady incline, fun decline, and river running next to you as you start your adventure. Dog must be kept on leash for their safety and yours as there are spots you’ll want your dog close to you. Each bridge is a like a checkpoint and you're surrounded by big healthy trees, boulders, can hear the flow of the river, and mountain sides. For those that like to scramble or climb, there are plenty of spots off the trail to explore. Depending on the time of year, wear good hiking shoes with traction as the trail will ice over since it is mostly shaded, bring water, snacks, and layer. Make a point to go off the beaten path when you get to the clearing of the river flowing and enjoy a picnic on the boulders. As you ascend, mind your footing and be courteous of other hikers, and their dogs. Near the end, there is not a marker showing that you have done all 7 bridges/made it to the end of the trail, so do not try to round the mountain as it will be like your own Lord of the Rings adventure. Once at the end, the views are breathtaking where you can look out in between the mountains, down in between the mountains, and enjoy being in the out-there.

Hiked this yesterday morning. Way more snow than expected (and some ice) but still a very enjoyable hike! We turned around at bridge 7. Would love to come back when the trail is dry.
