Near Hickman Bridge Trail at Capitol Reef National Park is a moderate trail whose length is 0.9 miles or 1.4 kilometers that leads to a 133-foot natural bridge and views of the canyon.
Near Hickman Bridge Trail at Capitol Reef National Park
The change in elevation of the trail is 400 feet or 122 meters.
Look carefully and a natural bridge can be seen.
The Fremont River rushes right near the parking lot — which marks the trailhead — and Utah State Highway 24.
Final Boarding Call
Hickman Bridge Trail is part of the experience of Capitol Reef National Park, which I recommend.

On this Memorial Day 2023, this article is dedicated to Dave Hickman, who passed away last month and was known by the name of Cholula on FlyerTalk. He was the first member of FlyerTalk who I have met in person; and we served together as moderators on FlyerTalk. He suggested that I earn my Master of Business Administration degree and kept my supply of Cholula hot sauce from being depleted.
May you rest in peace, Dave. You are sorely missed.
