The Bear Canyon Suspension Bridge is a 185ft bridge that connects the Bear Canyon to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. The bridge was built and completed in 2015 thanks to donations from residents and Ralph Wadsworth. It is about a 4.5 mile roundtrip trail, and is a moderate hike. The overall trail offers views of the Salt Lake Valley and is a very popular hike for families. There's a cage that stretches throughout the bridge so kids can run and play while being protected from falling off. 

To get to the bridge, start on the Orson Smith trail; before you get on the trail, there are restrooms in case you want to go to the bathroom. There is a map on the trail continuing on the trail to the bridge so that you can stay on the path. During the trail, you'll be crossing the Aqueduct Trail and intersecting the Bonneville Shoreline Trail several times; follow the sign that says "bridge loop" but either direction will take you to the bridge. During the hike, you will see homes, go on steep climbs and eventually to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, this is where you can take either way (the bonneville trail is flat and easier.) Continue on until you see the bridge. 

Many people go on the trail for hiking or trail running. Besides the trail to the suspension bridge, there are many other trails that can be explored, taking hikers further up the mountain or to various other views of the valley. 

The trail can be hiked in the winter, though it may have a lot of snow on the trail. Best times to hike are usually spring through fall.
