The trail to Bridge Mountain is actually marked with a legitimate sign and is somewhat maintained. You're in luck!
The canyon behind the Red Rock Escarpment that hides the Rocky Gap road leading to the Red Rock Summit.
Behind the towering sandstone cliff faces at Red Rock canyon lies a beautifully rugged landscape filled with limestone peaks, Pinyon and Juniper woodlands, and hidden mountain springs.
During the winter and spring, the Spring Mountains hold snow that helps the surrounding desert community thrive through the heat stress that summer months bring.

Rock cairns mark the way after the trail turns into slickrock. The cairns are well placed an obvious along the route.

A scenic shot of a helicopter fly by on a training mission in the area.
A wonderful natural arch exists on the north side of the peak just below the summit. During most of the year, this pothole holds water.
Scramble up this block to attain flatter ground and views of the hidden forest.
The crack in the center is the route to get to the summit. This stands as one of the steeper sections of the scramble to the summit.
A piece of the Hidden Forest is visible below the true summit of Bridge Mountain.
The saddle that separates Bridge Mountain from the limestone ridge to the west. This section of the scramble is well marked with cairns.
Views south along the Red Rock Escarpment. Mount Potosi, the southernmost of the Spring Mountain peaks, sits on the horizon, and Mount Wilson, the crown jewel of Red Rock, sits to the upper left.
North Peak is the sandstone peak in the left center of the photo, and it is a short distance away from Bridge Mountain. A spur trail to North Peak branches off of the Bridge Mountain trail at the saddle around 7,000 feet.
