Are there any hikes with suspension bridges in Utah?
My friend was telling me about a hike they did with a suspension bridge and that got me wondering if there are any here in Utah. Does anyone know of any?

There is an interesting suspension bridge across the San Juan River at Bluff. The bridge has been damaged recently by heavy rain but I believe there are plans to fix it in the near future. We have used the bridge in order to get to a place called 12-room ruin.

Yup. What Brewhaha said...
Also you might wanna try out Swazey's Leap in the San Rafael Swell near Mexican Mountain. I'll give ya a dollar if A) it's still there, and B) you cross over it.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

The Swasey's Leap Sheep Bridge is long gone. But there is still an old sheep bridge over Moonshine Wash. Its not a suspension but you would have to be crazy to cross it.

That's awesome! I love that I have found a site to learn about other cool places from people who know. Anyway, that goat bridge isn't quite what I had in mind, but I still want to check it out.

that is swinging bridge outside bluff. any local could tell you how to get there and to 16 house. swinging bridge is the permanent project of the local scout troops as it gets well damaged every year by floods.

There is now an awesome suspension bridge over Bear Canyon in Draper. A round trip hike to the bridge takes about an hour.
