15Hickman Bridge Trail
If you’d prefer a hike that is not as challenging as the Cassidy Arch Trail, then the moderately difficult Hickman Bridge Trail is for you. This hike is under two miles but has a relatively quick elevation of only 400 feet. Give yourself one hour to finish the hike.
This hike follows the river to a noteworthy viewpoint of the 133-foot Hickman Bridge. It is a well-known natural bridge that receives numerous visitors. Thus, this hike is also popular. As a general rule, the best time to hike any place in Capitol Reef National Park is from Spring to Fall since the trails can become very slick from ice and snow in the winter. Whenever you choose to visit though, you will always find something to do here.
