There’s something so enchanting about bridges. Walking across them is like stepping through a portal to another world, and this one is no exception. It leads into one of Arizona’s most majestic mountain ranges, begging to be crossed by everyone who loves spending time in nature.

This 133-foot long, 14-foot wide bridge is a gateway to the majestic White Tank Mountains. Thousands of hikers, mountain bikers, and others cross it each year to visit Skyline Regional Park, a nearly 9,000-acre natural area on the other side.
