Gulkana Glacier Area ~ Swing Bridge Across College Creek

Exploring near the Gulkana Glacier area. In the above photo we are next to the Gulkana River

The suspension bridge crosses over College Creek that flows southwest to the Gulkana River. It was a bit nerve wracking and scary at first but once I got the hang of the bridges motion and trust of the wood and cables it became easier.  

We camped in the area for two nights and hiked back to the bridge twice for the adventure of crossing over to the other side again. It appeared that most of the spring melt had already flowed downriver so the creek seemed less ominous.
