Fun Facts

Hickman Bridge is a stunning natural arch formed by the erosive forces of wind and water over millions of years, standing at 133 feet long and 125 feet high.

The bridge is named in honor of Joseph Hickman, a local school administrator and early advocate for the preservation of Capitol Reef's natural beauty.

Hickman Bridge is located within Capitol Reef National Park, which is known for its unique Waterpocket Fold, a nearly 100-mile long warp in the Earth's crust.

The Hickman Bridge Trail is a moderate 1.8-mile round trip hike that offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape.

Visitors can enjoy the beauty of Hickman Bridge in any season, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable hiking conditions.
