## Visit The Hickman Bridge Trail

Activities

#### Encounter such intriguing sights as an indigenous granary, an old pit house and chipmunks on your way to the Hickman Bridge arch.

The Hickman Bridge Trail is a fairly easy walk suitable for most people. It leads to its namesake natural arch and comprises a range of switchbacks, arches and overlooks. Complete the hike for excellent views of the red stone arch as well as several other landmarks in Capitol Reef National Park.

Take a break to rest in the occasional shady patches, while you enjoy the views of the picturesque scenery. Try to spot chipmunks and other animals that live in the region and take a look at the vegetation, which includes pretty wildflowers along most of the trail. The entire circuit is relatively simple and short, consisting of a 1.8-mile (2.9-kilometer) round-trip. Note that most of the elevation is gained in the first part of the trail.

Start climbing the lower slopes of the Waterpocket Fold area, until you come across the intriguing Fremont pit house ruin. This fascinating structure offers a glimpse into the Fremont people and their ways of life. See the old granary and the nearby arch known as the Nels Johnson Natural Bridge.

When you reach the enormous Hickman Bridge, relax in its shade. Gaze up at its glorious 133-foot (41-meter) arched span. Make sure to bring sufficient water and a hat for this trail, which is mostly unsheltered from the scorching sun.

Arrive at the Fremont River Overlook for wonderful views of the water. Capture photos of the vista, which incorporates the Fruita Valley and the beginning of the Cohab Canyon.

The Hickman Bridge Trail is just 3 miles (5 kilometers) northeast of the valley of Fruita in the center of Capitol Reef National Park. It is just north of Utah State Route 24 and the Fremont River. Drop off your car in the parking lot next to the highway. Make sure to see other sights in the region, including the Gifford Homestead, the Petroglyphs and the Capitol Reef National Park Visitor Center.
