The bridge spans an impressive 133 feet and rises 125 feet above the wash, offering a breathtaking spectacle for all who venture to witness it. Its elegant archway frames the vast blue sky, creating a stunning visual contrast with the warm hues of the surrounding Navajo Sandstone.

    The trail to Hickman Bridge is a moderate 1.8-mile roundtrip hike that winds through a diverse landscape of desert flora and fascinating rock formations. Along the path, interpretive signs provide insights into the area's natural and cultural history, enriching the hiking experience. The journey culminates in a rewarding view of the bridge from below, allowing visitors to fully appreciate its immense scale and intricate details.
