Comments: A fun late night adventure. Walking inside the bridge is very cool. We used the West side drop in point which is wider than the East side, but 1 of our 4 group members could not fit through. Although the bridge is officially 450ft high, there is no good drop in point in the center, so I estimate the rappel to be 250ft. (Didn’t actually measure) The hike out is steep and dense with spiky bushes, so don’t try it in shorts.

Comment: This is great, but parking and hiking along the highway was sketchy.
Instead, park at the nearby Pine Creek trailhead (adventure pass required) and hike in on the trail. After maybe 1.5 miles (?) you'll go through a gate on the trail. Hike a little bit more until it goes back down to the river and cross it here (you'll likely see a wrecked orange truck on the other side up the hill). Scramble up past this truck until you get up to the west-end side of the bridge. Enter either bridge (if the manhole is bolted shut, then try to squeeze through the expansion gap around the corner from the manhole).
