Bear Creek Bridge & Creek

There isn't too many hikes that have a suspension bridge on them.  Well, guess what..we found one!

Right in Draper, starting at Orson Smith Park, is the trailhead and climbs up to the Bonneville Shore Line (where the super duper large Bonneville Lake once was that covered the entire Salt Lake Valley way back in the day).  This suspension bridge is fairly hidden until you come right up on it.

The bridge shakes and moves, since it's suspended, when the wind blows or when Jacob and Hannah run back and forth on it!

This at a small park at the trailhead.

Very quickly, the climb offers a great view of the valley


The bridge coming into view



There is a small but lush canyon right behind the bridge with Bear Creek flowing through it


Short trail into the canyon. It was beautiful

We came across this much shorter and older bridge crossing the creek






Do you see Hannah and Jacob on the bridge? They're there..running back and forth on it



On our way back down, we passed these houses where we'd like to live
