Bridge across the Nantahala, Bryson City, NC

Just southwest of Bryson City, NC is one of many rivers in the area - this one is the Nantahala and there is a small footbridge that crosses it for, i believe, the railroad workers to get to the railroad as there is not other access for miles. I first saw the bridge last year but not until i passed it did it register as a functioning footbridge. This trip i made of point of watching for it and stopping. It looks like this:





Yes, it is as exciting as it looks. Its quite safe and strong but with only a little effort, you can get the bridge to swing and take your breath away. And when two or three are walking on it, it has a very lively bounce.  I recommend a visit.
