Take Charleston Blvd. west out to Red Rock Canyon. You'll need to pay a $5.00 per car entrance fee. Follow the Scenic Loop until you reach Willow Springs turnoff. This is the start of the Rocky Gap Road. Immediately after he parking the road turn from bad to extremely bad. The Rocky Gap Road demands a high-clearance 4WD vehicle to travel the badly washed out road five miles to the Red Rock Pass where the hike begins through a juniper tree forest.
From the Pass you will start a gradual climb on a well groomed trail winding along the ridge line to a summit peak. From this peak you will eventually see Bridge Mountain. It's a beautiful sandstone fortress that gets more impressive the closer you get. From this small summit you continue your journey descending through the junipers to the stark rocky surface of the Sandstone Bluffs. You will be making your way through numerous chutes and cracks to reach the base of Bridge Mountain. At this point this is where the fun begins. You will be facing several class 3 climbs, (basically your are on a very steep rock face with hand/foot hold), on the way to the top. Before reaching the top you will see the natural stone bridge.
After leaving the natural bridge you will discover the Hidden Forest (a isolated ponderosa pine forest nestle between two massive sandstone peaks). From the Hidden Forest you make your final assault up the steep sandstone slope to the Summit. What a beautiful view at the Summit. Throughout the hike there are spectacular views of the many colorful sandstone peaks and cliffs. There is a existing log book at the summit in a ammo box (this in not the cache) for you to make some comments about your hiking experience to Bridge Mountain
The cache is located in a small altoid tin. A small log book is inside. The tin is covered by some rocks.
A good book to have for reference is "Hiking Las Vegas" 60 Hikes Within 60 Minutes of the Strip, by Branch Whitney. For more information on the hike refer to the follow website:http://angeles.sierraclub.org/peaks/dps/archives/dps00606.htm
