I love this area, amazing views, nice trails lots of creek/river crossings, lakes, waterfalls, photo moments (up close to marmotts) might be spelled wrong.
However i have never seen this suspension bridge, would love to know where it is.......... Have been to the Great divide,Cardinal headwaters, Ruby lake/ Ruby falls etc.
Normally run into cold and snow flurries/storms every visit EVEN IN JULY in the higher spots like Cardinal headwaters, bring warm clothes.

There is parking/staging at N 52° 51.996 W 116° 56.900. The trail head can be picked up at N 52° 51.965 W 116° 56.818 after you cross the river. Follow the ruby falls trail until you cross ruby creek and find a fork in the trail at about N 52° 50.283 W 116° 57.225. Stay right along the creek to go to ruby falls or stay left and go past flapjack lake. You will come out on a road (N52 47.902 W116 56.279). Pick up the trail across the road. At N 52° 47.568 W 116° 55.560 you will find the south esk trail head sign, this part of the trail is maintianed by the Edson atv club. You will need to continue past the end of the trail maintianed by the atv club and cross another creek at the bottom of the hill. you can ride to aprox N 52° 39.829 W 116° 53.043 then take the walking trail down to the bridge. The trip from grave flats to the bridge is aprox 35 km one way.
If you are into the geocaching thing then you will find that I have several caches along the way to the bridge.

There are plenty of spots to random camp along the road before and after the ruby creek trail head.

Ya it's getting real busy in there over the past few years. Rough as he'll too if you can, make sure you take spare tires. I've wrecked lots of tires and wheels in there from the rock over the years won't catch me going back anytime soon that's foshow. Very pretty though.

Too many people in the summer time for me too. Make sure your ins.and registration is in order if you do go as the fish cops patrol there regularily.
