Located in Vallecito, CA, Natural Bridges Trail is a popular two-mile round trip hike that takes visitors through spectacular limestone caverns carved out by Coyote Creek. Maintained by the US Bureau of Reclamation, this trail offers breathtaking views and is especially beautiful during the spring when wildflowers bloom along the path.

Visitors are reminded to follow the Hop Lightly guidelines to help preserve the fragile ecosystem of Natural Bridges. Dogs and bikes are not allowed on the trail, and parking along Parrotts Ferry Road is strictly prohibited. With limited paid parking available, it is recommended to visit during weekdays to avoid crowds. Visitors are also encouraged to pack out any trash and stay on the designated trail to minimize impact on the natural beauty of the area.
