Location

The historic, Bridge to Nowhere was built in 1936.
Located in the San Gabriel Mountains, just 20 miles north of the City of Azusa, CA. Place cursor over image to enlarge.
In 1938, the road to the bridge was washed away during California’s 4th largest flood leaving behind a beautiful 5 mile hiking trail through the Angeles National Forest.
The Bridge to Nowhere sits on 50 acres of private property surrounded on all sides by the Sheep Mountain Wilderness Area in the Angeles National Forest.

What to Expect on your day of Bungee Jumping

All guests meet at 7:30 am at our meeting location in Azusa, CA.
Meeting address and directions are included with your Confirmation Page at the time of reservation.

Registration

• Arrive with everything you need packed and ready to go; once we greet the group, there will be no opportunity to leave the group for any reason.
• Once you arrive, all jumpers and spectators must fill out a registration form.
• Anyone under 18 years of age must have a parent present to sign the registration form or must make prior arrangements at the time of reservation.
  
• Spectators are welcome and are free of charge.
  
• Once registration is complete, everyone will get back into their own vehicles and follow Bungee America’s staff on a 20 minute drive into the San Gabriel Canyon.

Drive into the Canyon This 20 minute drive leads into the beautiful and historic San Gabriel Canyon inside the Angeles National Forest. We will park our vehicles at the East Fork Ranger Station Parking lot also known as the Bridge to Nowhere Trailhead. All vehicles are required to display a National Forest Adventure Parking Pass. They cost $5.00/vehicle and we will have them available for purchase.

Trailhead

• This is the beginning of the 5 mile hike to the Bridge to Nowhere.
• Have your backpacks ready to go because after an orientation highlighting the rules of the backcountry we will hit the trail.

Hike

From the trailhead we will begin the hike to the Bridge to Nowhere.
A 5 mile hike over a rocky & rugged trail leads to the bridge.

The trail crosses a creek 6 times or more. The water ranges from 1 to 3 feet deep. You must wear shorts and shoes that can get wet. Everyone will get their shoes and socks wet, because we do not stop to change our shoes at the river crossings.

Sturdy hiking footwear works best although many of our guests and staff wear sturdy quality running shoes. Do not wear sandals, flip flops, or flimsy footwear because this is a rocky & rugged trail.

Bring a change of socks and shoes or sandals to change into when you arrive at the bridge.

Additional Items: If the weather is hot and dry; bring hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and plenty of cold fluids to drink. If the weather is cold or wet; bring warm clothes, raingear, beanies, gloves and hot chocolate. It will take approximately 2 hours to reach the bridge. Be prepared to hike at a brisk pace. You will need to bring a full picnic lunch, because you will be hungry. DO NOT BRING alcohol or glass containers.

The thing to remember is this; YOU are 5 miles from your vehicle, if you don’t bring what you need, there is no opportunity to just go to your car and grab it.

Bungee America provides a water filter at the bridge so you can refill your water bottles all day and before the hike back to your vehicle with beautiful, crisp mountain spring water.

Bridge to Nowhere You will arrive at the Historic 1936 Bridge to Nowhere around lunchtime. There will be time to enjoy your picnic lunch and change into clean dry clothes if desired. Jump School will start shortly after the entire group has arrived at the bridge.

Jump School

You will learn everything you need to know about bungee jumping during a fun 30 minute presentation called “Jump School”, which is taught right on the deck of the bridge.


You will learn how the bungee system keeps you safe, and jumping technique for the 6 completely different jumps you get to choose from. Spectators are welcome to listen to Jump School free of charge. Click on Jump Styles for a preview.

We will then be ready for an awesome day of bungee jumping!

Jumping

• We operate two bungee jumping platforms simultaneously, which means, non stop action.
• The group will be divided into weight categories and jump accordingly.
• We start with lightweights and progress to heavy weights throughout the day.

Choose between 5 different jump packages. Click on “Jump Packages”.

Make sure you bring your camera so you do not miss one of the most thrilling moments of your life!

After Your Jump

Remember, this is a full day adventure so do not plan to get back to your vehicle until just before dark. Although, once you have finished jumping, you are welcome to hike back to your vehicle at your own pace ahead of your Bungee America staff. You may get back to your car an hour or more before the staff. The canyon doesn’t open into any other canyons and the river flows back toward the parking lot.

If you prefer…

If you are not sure of the trail or are not comfortable hiking back to your vehicle without your Bungee America staff, feel free to hang out all day and watch all of our guests bungee jump.

Bring your swim suits. There are plenty of places to go swimming in the river.

Now you can hike back to your vehicles with your Bungee America staff after everyone has finished their jumps. Your Bungee America staff usually arrive back at their vehicles just before dark.

You may now enjoy a leisurely drive home and the memories of the most wonderful adrenaline filled day of your life.
