Explore the Abandoned Sweetwater River Bridge

El Cajon, California

Description

The San Diego Sweetwater River Bridge was built in 1929, and later abandoned. It's amazing to see how eventually nature will take everything back.

Starting at the beginning of the bridge, there is a small gravel lot where you can park. With the bridge only extending 500 feet, this is a short and relaxing adventure.

The plants and trees have already begun to take back this iron bridge. A peaceful walk overlooking a wildlife reserve, this is a perfect place to relax and photograph.

Walk along the bridge and admire how nature is taking over the man-made iron structure. Walk to the end and look around at the vastness that surrounds you. Set up your camera at either end of the bridge and look for angles. Use the beauty of the trees and the steel to complement each other! If the sun is at it's peak, use a neutral density filter or a high aperture setting of f18 and up.

At the summit, your work will be rewarded with stunning views from downtown San Diego all the way to Mexico. You can also see the surrounding mountain peaks and the Sweetwater Reservoir.

There is no ...

Catch a Sunset at Lake Murray

Lake Murray Reservoir provides drinking water to parts of San Diego, and thus is a no swimming lake. This is one of the reasons it is such a great place to photograph! If you are shooting the sunset, use this app to check the time the sun sets, and get to the lake at least 30 minutes prior to set up your scene. I like to spend ten minutes or so searching for a great vantage point. The beauty of...

Pyles Peak

Most people who live in San Diego have heard of, if not hiked, Cowles Mountain. At 1591 ft., Cowles is the highest peak in the city of San Diego.

The trek begins on the Otay Mountain Truck Trail at Pio Pico Resort & Campground. You can either park and hike the entire trail, or drive up to a point a couple miles and park before the road becomes steep and rough. The distance on here is if you hiked the whole way. If you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle you can drive most of the way to the top of the mountain. We parked about 4 miles from t...
