Bridge to Nowhere
Location in California
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.
History
The East Fork Road was still under construction when it was washed out during the great flood of March 1–2, 1938.
The East Fork Road project was abandoned as a result of the floods, leaving the bridge forever stranded in the middle of what is now the Sheep Mountain Wilderness.
Parts of the old asphalt roadway can still be found along the East Fork Trail which leads to the bridge, and there are still a number of concrete slabs which formed the foundations of destroyed bridges to the west of the Bridge to Nowhere. Indeed, the sign along the trail 30 feet east of the John Seals Bridge which announces the start of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness is resting on the old roadbed.
East Fork Trail
Currently there is a major rock fall at approximately 1.56 miles in along the trail at North 34 degrees 15.440, West 117 degrees 45.053, at 2271 feet altitude which poses a significant safety hazard to climb over. Additionally there is a cornice overhang remaining that is poised to come down and there is more friable San Gabriel granite to the right of the calving which is poised to come down. The United States Forest Service is looking at the problem with the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders to determine what can be done about the hazard. As it is, safe passage through 50 meters of trail covered by the rock fall requires the crossing of the river two additional times.
The bridge is only accessible via a 10-mile round-trip hike or on horseback. Despite its popularity, the frequency with which the trails get washed out means that they are rough in places. The trail following the riverbed crosses the East Fork six times between the bridge and the trailhead.
Generally, one follows the river up its course, with several stream crossings before the ascent to the level of the bridge.
The maintenance of the East Fork Trail which leads to the Bridge To Nowhere is the responsibility of the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders volunteer organization which works under the supervision of the United States Forest Service. Typically trail repairs and maintenance are performed by the Trailbuilders during the Winter months when snow within the Crystal Lake Recreation Area makes trail working at higher elevations in the San Gabriel Mountains difficult and at times hazardous.
In addition to steps being carved out of rock faces to improve hiking safety, trail definition being improved through removing growth and rocks along the trail, and other typical trail work, the Trailbuilders also built the John Seals Bridge across Laurel Gulch, utilizing helicopters, horses, mules, and many human volunteers to establish concrete footings and assemble a solid wooden crossing to ensure safe passage across the Gulch.
Obstructions along the trail which leads to the Bridge To Nowhere and other significant trail problems can be reported to the Trailbuilders.
Bungee jumping
The bridge is a private inholding within the Angeles National Forest. Bungee jumping is provided by a private company.[6] Jumpers typically meet at the main parking area for Heaton Flats Campground early in the morning, collecting at the Forest Service gate and then walking to the East Fork Trail trailhead where jumpers begin the hike generally as a group. After individuals jump from the bridge, people hike back either alone or in pairs or in groups, some times doing so after dark.
Safety issues
There have been a large number of fatalities along the East Fork of the San Gabriel River due in part to the swift water of the San Gabriel River which can rise significantly and without warning when heavy rainfall to the Northeast of the region introduces flash flood waters to the river. Crossing the river to and from the Bridge to Nowhere can be dangerous and even individuals crossing in groups have experienced fatalities.

Bungee Jump At the Navajo Bridge and the Camera that almost landed in the River
The historic Navajo Bridge is one of the tallest bridges in the United States, one of the most scenic and one of my favorite bungee jumps. 467 feet above the Colorado River situated in the Grand Canyon (Arizona). A few fun notes:
After the crazy bouncing starts the video is jumbled, briefly. The camera flew off and I caught it! Yes, I know, better strapping or a helmet. Also, about 3 minutes 15 seconds in there is a California Condor on the left side of the screen. Only about 84 of these rare birds in Arizona/Utah. They have a wingspan of up to 10 feet. Jump was with Over the Edge, Inc. Bungee. I do have type 1 diabetes and have chosen events like this to do because I have diabetes.

Bridge to Nowhere
Bridge to Nowhere Hike (San Gabriel Mountains)
For outdoor-loving Angelinos, Bridge to Nowhere is the affectionate name of a local treasure, an abandoned bridge on a washed-away road in the San Gabriel Mountains that spans across the East Fork of the San Gabriel River.
You’ll find excessive fun on this 10-mile round trip hike with 900 feet of elevation change. The trail uses several river fords to reach the Bridge to Nowhere, adding opportunities to stop and swim. Dedicate at least six hours to completing this outing.
An easy-to-acquire wilderness permit is required to hike to the Bridge to Nowhere, as well as a national forest day use pass (details below).
History of Bridge to Nowhere
LA’s Bridge to Nowhere was constructed in 1936 over a gap carved by the East Fork of the San Gabriel River. The bridge was built to serve as a link in a roadway between the San Gabriel Valley to the south and Wrightwood to the north. However, in the spring of 1938, a massive flood changed the landscape of the canyon and washed out the road leading to the bridge. The road was never restored and construction was abandoned due to a lack of financial investment.
The bridge remains, isolated deep in the San Gabriel Mountains. The Bridge to Nowhere has become an excellent destination for hikers and bungee-jumpers who plunge from the side of the dramatic arch-shaped bridge.
Hike to Bridge to Nowhere
The trail to the Bridge to Nowhere is mostly gradual with some rugged terrain and rock scrambling. Wading through thigh to waist high water is unavoidable (at least in wet months) so pack appropriate footwear. Hiking boots, water shoes, and a towel is the best combination. The hike up the canyon has a minimum of four river crossings. Trekking in wet shoes is not idea, and while it is tedious to change your footwear throughout the hike, your feet may thank you.
Don’t be surprised if the trailhead is crowded. This is a popular hike, and people also park here to picnic and swim in the nearby river. Arrive early, and prepare to leave your vehicle along the road leading to the trailhead if the lot is full.
East Fork Trail
Currently[2019] there is a major rock fall approximately 1.56 miles inward along the trail at 34.25733°N 117.75089°W at 2271 feet altitude which poses a significant safety hazard to climb over. Additionally there is a cornice overhang remaining that is poised to come down and there is more friable San Gabriel granite to the right of the calving which is poised to come down. The United States Forest Service is looking at the problem with the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders to determine what can be done about the hazard.

Searching for a lost Gold mine part 2 of 2
The Horseshoe and Horseshoe Annex – unreported and nearly forgotten gold mines on the East Fork of the San Gabriel River
By Hugh Blanchard
Several years ago while hiking to the Bridge that Goes Nowhere on the East Fork of the San Gabriel River a fellow hiker advised me of a mine located downstream from the Bridge. I made several unsuccessful efforts to locate it but only recently was able to find it.
For starters there was nothing I could find in print which mentioned the mine. John Robinson’s definitive Mines of the East Fork does not mention it. The Forest Service told me they knew nothing about it. Oddly enough the only place I could find it named was in an internet sales article for the surrounding property placed in 1998 on Tom Chester”s web site by the then owner Frank Saunders. Google “Private Property For Sale by Bridge To Nowhere”. No sale developed as the Saunders family still owns the property according to the County Assessor’s Office. It was not until after I had found the mine was I able to find it mentioned in print in a magazine which ceased publication more than 65 years ago .Trails Magazine was a well regarded but short-lived publication (1934-1939) devoted to hiking in LA County. Its Summer 1938 issue p.9 states”The famous old Horseshoe Mine has had many owners,and has periodically produced much gold…At the mouth of scenic Devil’s Canyon is the Saunders patented mine…Richard Saunders, son of the Old Timer who built the cabin, now owns it and mines there intermittently.”
The mine was originally patented in 1909 by Frank Saunders grandfather, R. Cowper Saunders. Its name comes from the shape of the river where it is located. It is part of a 50 acre private enclave owned by the Saunders family which may or may not include the Bridge that Goes Nowhere. The Saunders family claims ownership of the Bridge. The Forest Service is not sure as surveys performed in the 1880”s were frequently inaccurate. As of this writing (October 2005) the Forest Service is considering employing a land surveyor to try to determine who actually owns the land under the Bridge. Frank Saunders passed away in 2002.. After his passing his widow Gail moved from Santa Barbara to McKinney, Texas to live with her sister. Attempts to reach her went unanswered. Apparently she continues to license bungee operations at the Bridge run by Ron Jones, president of Bungee America, Inc.
The reason the mine is rather difficult to find is because the hikers trail to the Bridge veers eastward several hundred yards away from the East Fork about a mile below the Bridge. Thus only those few hikers who continue going directly upstream would notice the mine. The key to finding it is to note a private enclave marker (now heavily vandalized) on the trail a quarter of a mile before the Bridge. The marker lists various restrictions on entering this area. Shortly after the marker a faint but noticeable trail leads down to the stream. Upon reaching the stream head downstream at least 600 feet to find the mine. One of our group feels it is more like a thousand feet. In any event the mine is on the left (east) bank and is quite noticeable.
On the October 2005 trip the writer and his companions located the Horseshoe Annex which is about 150 feet downstream from the same trail that leads to the Horseshoe. It is about 50 feet upslope on the right (west) side of the stream surrounded by a forest of fig trees with a large fig tree partially blocking and concealing the entrance.
Although the Saunders Family first patented the Horseshoe and Horseshoe Annex another family, the Veuhoff's, did most of the subsequent digging in the Horseshoe Annex. Theodore Veuhoff who immigrated from Germany worked the Horseshoe Annex from about 1930 to the early 1950's often assisted by his two sons. He named the mine the Elvira Veuhoff for his daughter and also planted the large fig tree which now covers the entrance to the mine.
My deep appreciation to Ron Jones who first advised me of the mines and their location and to Stephen Veuhoff who informed me of the role his great grandfather played in the digging of the Horshoe Annex and planting the fig tree. Without their generous assistance this article could not have been written.
