Kaibab Trail Suspension Bridge
Kaibab Trail Suspension Bridge, Suspension footbridge at Grand Canyon National Park, United States
The 440-foot-long Kaibab Trail Suspension Bridge connects both rims of the Grand Canyon, spanning the Colorado River at a strategic crossing point.
Built in 1928, the bridge required 122 tons of materials transported by mules and workers down a nine-mile trail without motorized vehicles.
The construction involved 42 Havasupai tribal members who carried the 550-foot suspension cables through the challenging terrain of the Grand Canyon.
The bridge serves 100,000 annual crossings, supporting hikers, backpackers, park employees, and mule trains carrying supplies to Phantom Ranch.
This bridge remains the sole Colorado River crossing within a 754-mile stretch between Needles, California, and Moab, Utah.
