Narrow historic single-lane bridge (originally 1930s CCC timber; later rebuilt) spanning a knife-edge ridge between deep canyons on Hell’s Backbone Road in Dixie National Forest between Escalante and Boulder. Sheer drop-offs on both sides make it one of southern Utah’s most dramatic mountain-road viewpoints, with Box-Death Hollow Wilderness below.
