About the Natural Bridge Trail
The Natural Bridge Trail, located in Natural Bridge, California, is a park and tourist attraction known for its rugged terrain and stunning natural beauty. Due to recent flooding, many backcountry roads in the area have been impacted or closed, making travel in the area hazardous. Visitors are advised to be prepared for rough conditions and to travel with caution.
The hiking routes in the park are mostly cross-country, leading hikers up canyons and along ridges. The best time to hike in Death Valley is from November through March, as summer temperatures can be dangerous in the park's lower elevations. It is recommended to carry plenty of water, as springs are rare and unreliable in the dry climate of Death Valley.
The Natural Bridge Trail is an 8-mile round trip hike that takes approximately 4-5 hours to complete. The trailhead is located off the unpaved Lake Hill road, about 4.5 miles east of Panamint Springs. Access to the trailhead requires a high clearance vehicle.
Visitors can expect sandy areas, uneven and missing pavement due to flood damage along the trail. The trail is moderately difficult, with an elevation gain of 1,028 ft. Parking is available at a small gravel lot, with the closest restrooms at Panamint Springs Resort or Emigrant Canyon Rest Station.
Overall, the Natural Bridge Trail offers a challenging yet rewarding hiking experience for those looking to explore the rugged beauty of Death Valley.
Reviews of Natural Bridge Trail
"really nice walk up to the natural bridge. you can go further but be careful since going up is easier than going down. In our case it actually rained and the rocks were slippery. The drive up to the parking lot was pretty rough."
"Amazing natural formation - worth the small hike up to the point from the parking lot. The parking lot is a mile off from the Badwater Road and is a mud road. Although I saw some people in small cars make up to the parking lot, I'd strongly recommend an SUV or truck due to the boulders and rough terrain."
"This was a really easy day hike which anyone should be able to complete. It's mostly a slight up hill first so the way back is easier. What an amazing sight. I believe there are a few trail options, but we chose the out and back."
"A less explored place in Death valley.. You can enjoy superb view from this place .must visit place in death valley. Road little bit rough but trailing this worth."
"Beautiful walk through the canyon to walk through the natural bridge. It’s beautiful, quiet, peaceful. Make sure you walk past the bridge and around the corner to see the dry waterfall. It also has a beautiful view of the valley with the temporary lake in the valley. One of my favorite hikes!"
