Hickman Bridge - Capitol Reef National Park

An easy 1.2 mile hike with 400 feet of gain takes you to the Hickman Bridge, an arch with a 130 foot span. It's a scenic short hike along the Fremont River then climbing above the road to a hidden valley. The hike has nice views of white sandstone cliffs and mountains. It is an interpretive trail but you'll need a guide from the visitors center to tell you what is at each numbered site. A trail split before the bridge allows you to hike an additional trail called the Rim Overlook for more views if you have the time. Access the Hickman Bridge trail by driving two miles east of the visitors center on US 24 to the large parking area.
