Trestles Bridge, Wooden railway bridge in Anza-Borrego Desert, United States
The 600-foot-long wooden trestle bridge spans across Goat Canyon, reaching a height of 200 feet above the canyon floor.
The bridge was constructed in 1933 as part of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway after a tunnel collapse required an alternative route.
The San Diego Model Railroad Museum exhibits two scale replicas of the bridge, showcasing its engineering significance in railway transportation history.
Reaching the bridge requires a strenuous 6-mile round trip hike with 2,500 feet of elevation gain through desert terrain.
Engineers selected redwood timber instead of metal for construction due to the extreme temperature variations in the Carrizo Gorge region.
