Bridge Mountain, Mountain summit in Clark County, Nevada
Bridge Mountain is a summit in the Spring Mountain range that rises to approximately 6,958 feet. A natural sandstone arch formation sits near the peak, creating a distinctive geological landmark visible from certain vantage points.
The mountain became part of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area under Bureau of Land Management protection. This designation ensured the preservation of its geological features.
Native American tribes traversed the mountain paths of Bridge Mountain, establishing routes that modern hiking trails continue to follow today.
Visitors need four-wheel-drive vehicles to reach Rocky Gap Summit Trailhead. Alternative parking at North Willow Springs campground offers a longer hiking route to the summit.
The summit contains a hidden forest of Ponderosa pine trees that thrives despite the surrounding desert landscape. This pocket of trees grows much denser than expected for such a high elevation in the region.
