Foresthill Bridge

[Max Rockatansky]

The unexpected hit from the the Sacramento Road Meet:

The Foresthill Bridge is structure which carries Foresthill Road over the North Fork American River near Auburn of Placer County.  This 2,428-foot-long structure is one of the most famous bridges in California due to it carrying a road deck height of 730 feet.  The Foresthill Bridge was completed in 1973 amid construction of Auburn Dam.  The ultimate failure of the Auburn Dam construction project has ensured the bridge remains the highest in the state.

Although Vin Diesel jumped a car off of it, like I said at the meet, you don't jump off bridges that are so high you have enough time to change your mind about it on the way down.

I was surprised to see that No Trespassing sign. I went there in 2008, walked down under the bridge, and took a bunch of pictures of it. Maybe they got tired of all the broken beer bottles and obscene graffiti.

It didn't really stop anyone at the meet either.  I got most of my photos from an abandoned switchback road on the eastern end of the structure.

The trails on both sides of that bridge leading down to the river (including that old road) are where to get pics. Far better views.
