Almost no actual pictures of the "Bridge to No Where". Most images are NOT of the east fork, nor Shoemaker canyon. I have hiked both and they are impressive monuments to engineering and the early days of California where anything was possible. Today, the bridge ends at the mountain of rubble that the park service created when the demolished the tunnel entrance for safety. If you hike around to the other side you can still get into it. The bridge is now privately owed by a bungee jumping company.
