This route is quite short, however it ends with a significant ascent. The official trailhead is located on an unpaved section of Dry Creek Road (FR 152) and requires a high clearance vehicle to access. If you only have a low clearance car, you can park in the Dry Creek Vista parking area, which is about a mile away from the official trailhead.
Follow the Devils Bridge Trail marker from the Dry Creek Vista parking area. The early section of the trail was formerly a jeep trail, so it is smooth and winds through juniper and prickly pear washes.

This renowned trail is undoubtedly a tourist draw, so arrive early to avoid congestion. Many others will most likely be shooting photos on the bridge from the top.
Although dogs are permitted on the walk, the last stairs are steep and may not be suitable for all pets.
