Description
This picturesque foot bridge is just off the side of the road leaving Creede, Co (pop 357) heading up the mountains to Lake City, Co (pop 438). The bridge is crossing the Rio Grande river, which has it's headwaters in the San Juan mountains just a few short miles from here.
CREEDE, CO- Solitude. Silence. Serenity. It’s the same story on every day for the area around the headwaters of the Rio Grande river. As one of the longest rivers in Colorado, the Rio has its origins in the desolate wilderness in the southwest part of the state, merely miles from the historic mountain town of Creede. As it slithers its way through high mountain meadows, down sharp rocky cliffs, it offers a mind blowing fishing experience along the way. With over twenty small tributaries, the river is home to many species of aquatic life. Brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout call this clear, clean river home.
