Bridge to Nowhere, Road bridge in San Gabriel Mountains, California.

The concrete arch bridge spans across the East Fork of San Gabriel River, standing 120 feet high within the steep canyon walls.

Constructed in 1936 as part of the East Fork Road project, the bridge became isolated when the 1938 flood destroyed the connecting roadway.

The bridge represents early twentieth-century transportation infrastructure development in California and the effects of nature on human construction plans.

Reaching the bridge requires a 10-mile round trip hike along East Fork Trail, crossing the river multiple times through variable water levels.

The structure functions as Southern California's single commercial bungee jumping location, operated by Bungee America within Angeles National Forest.
