    The Pleasant Canyon trail out of Ballarat is closed at the bridge to full size vehicles, motorcycles and ATVs only. It's 18 miles. The cabins are west of the bridge and it's 5 miles from the valley in to the bridge. If you do go to the bridge don't drive past the closed sign as there is no way to turn around. On the west side there is a place to turn around just before the bridge even tho the sign says there is not. The BLM or who ever is in control had the bridge inspected and was advised to close it to all but MC and ATVs.

    I gave the bridge a good look and almost drove over it but decided not to. I looked under it real good and some of the vertical support beams are a little shaky with loose wedges on top. Doesn't look like it would take much to put it back in service. I wonder if they ever will.

    Are you guys talking about the bridge at Stone/Briggs? I can't think of another bridge in the Panamints.

    Has the bridge eroded? I did it back in 2006/07 and it was fine. I was up in South Park last spring via Pleasant Canyon but didn't go out via the south route taking us by Stone/Briggs. We just left the way we came in.

    I didn't see it personally. But as the guy said, it's closed to trucks. I have heard some people have gone over no problems. I guess it's a conscience/moral thing.
