Adventure:009, Bridge 001 – Pohono Bridge

Team: YOLT

Date:  May 14, 2013

Location: Yosemite Valley

Description:
When you look east from the Pohono Bridge, you see the Merced River rushing towards you, in a hurry to pass under your bridge. In the background, Cathedral Rocks and Spires loam over the scenery with an assortment of pines and blooming dogwoods providing life to the whole scene. But we are not the first to walk across Pohono Bridge. Built in 1928 for $29,081.55 with native granite, it has seen a lot of traffic-both automotive and pedestrian. It is recognized as part of the Yosemite Historic Bridge District. Seen from the the front, the arch seems a fitting exit for the waters of the Merced to leave the valley.
