A Bridge No More



Once upon a time, a bridge spanned a portion of the trail to Mundy's Gap. The 2006 El Paso flood took care of that. Here are pics of before and after. The first picture was taken in October of 2005. The second was taken this past Tuesday, July 21, during the Sunrise Hiker trek to and over the Aztec Caves to the Mundy's Gap Trail.

Local Hikes still has the bridge in its trail summary. Built by the rangers of the Franklin Mountains State Park just a couple of years before the flood, there are no plans to reconstruct it.
