Approached from Lovell Canyon Road via Rocky Gap Road. Spent a lot of time underneath the bridge observing the surroundings. My first time to Bridge Mountain was rushed and I didn't have time to really appreciate the beautiful rock garden wilderness that exists behind the peak. There are about 3 sections that require extended scrambling. Take time to explore the pools and hidden forest of Ponderosa Pines short of the summit.
