Swinging Bridge

The parking area for Swinging Bridge is on Southside Drive, about two miles east of Cathedral Beach. Park there and walk to the bridge for some great reflections of Yosemite Falls. You'll also see a large meadow on your right as you approach to bridge on foot —from here Yosemite Falls can be framed by trees; in particularly wet springs the meadow fills with water, offering beautiful reflection possibilities. Just beyond the Swinging Bridge parking area are rows of photogenic trees that make a nice foreground for Yosemite Falls. There’s plenty of parking along this stretch.
