Bridge to Nowhere (San Gabriel Mountains)
- Bridge to Nowhere (San Gabriel Mountains)
The Bridge to Nowhere is an arch bridge that was built in 1936 north of Azusa, California in the San Gabriel Mountains. It spans the East Fork of the San Gabriel River and was meant to be part of a road connecting the San Gabriel Valley with Wrightwood. The East Fork Road was still under construction when it was washed out during the great flood of March 1-2, 1938.[Citation]

The bridge is only accessible via 9 mile round-trip hike or on horseback. Despite its popularity, the frequency with which the trail gets washed out means that it is rough in places. It crosses the East Fork 14 times between the Bridge and the trailhead.
