A group of us rode motorcycles out to visit this bridge. It is a magnificent structure and I highly recommend it. The bridge is in a now park-like setting. Get your bike, ride there, visit and talk to the bridge. You will enjoy it.

Gorgeous place with amazing scenery! We arrived first when it was very foggy which made for an incredible scene and when it was clear later in the day, the lighting was perfect!
