Hagwilget Bridge

040 copy

  The original bridge, constructed over the canyons by the Gitxsan First Nation people, was made of wood and rope. A steel bridge  replaced it in1932. It is still one of the highest suspension bridges in North America.

  There’s a walkway on either side of the bridge so that you can walk out on it and peer down into the canyon. The walkway is an opened grid for the first 30’ feet and small wheelchair wheels may get stuck.

  There are parking areas on the east end of the bridge that are large enough for RVs. Bridge
