High Steel Bridge — Attraction in Shelton

It's 1635 feet from the river,and 9 people have died 3 from the ,Bridge,and the rest from falling on the side slopes.it any for kids too get too close!!?.and it's an one lane bridge way , across.and it's concrete road service gets frozen and VERRY slippery,don't know if any vehicles ever went over,be smart,be careful.can scare you if you drive out too center,and stop and get out and look over side it's a long way down some people have virtergo, and some people are afraid of heights.be thoughtfully not challenging, and please stop the painting of personal crap,put and trial cam on a metal post and take pictures of idiots doing the wrong things,I've cut of line that someone had hanging over the side off.its fun too drop rock from the bridge,but nothing else!thank you. Rick B.ive been going their science 1967,with lots of friends from grade school,high school, collage,and thought my life never saw so much crappy sprayed on a place like that way out in an national forest,I guess the must be made at their own selfs and just showing the world what an ass they are.no sence of respect for the place or others or them selfs,I bet they don't spray paint crap on their own homes.maybe Simpsons lumber co.will paint it.their the ones who are responsible for it's maintenance, that was the condition that the state made too let them put the road through too their logging camp,they have too maintain too roads,like farther up at Browns Creak camp grounds,they were required to pave the roads their so they would not eroughd. but there's no accountability,for nothing anymore, maybe they ,have cleaned it up...

The drive to this location was pastoral and lovely with scenes of numerous farm homes within the Skokomish River Valley. There is around 7mi-10mi of dirt road driving before arriving at the bridge. I arrived around 1.5 hrs before sunset on a weekday and met only two other vehicles at the bridge. There are signs nearby that discourage hiking into the steep ravine. I walked only a 10 meters or so to the side of the bridge and quickly understood why it is risky. The soil is hard with small scree and no vegetation from erosion. I expect the risk is lower if wanting to view the sides of the bridge from this vantage point, only a few steps from the roadway, but I would not venture further unless I were a skilled mountaineer. The signs mentioned that several people have perished attempting to hike down into the ravine. The views were beautiful from atop the bridge. The south side railing is designed to protect vehicles from careening off of the bridge, not people. The railing came up to around my thighs as one has to step up onto a sidewalk. The bridge is designed for single track driving. This would be a great spot for flying a drone, getting romantic, or remembering...

🌉Visiting the Creek Steel Bridge in Washington was an awe-inspiring experience. The bridge's towering steel structure, spanning over the creek, creates a sense of grandeur and strength. 🌁Walking across it, I couldn't help but marvel at the engineering ingenuity that went into its design and construction.The views from the bridge were breathtaking, with the swift-flowing currents of the creek below adding to the picturesque scenery. The slender appearance of the bridge, supported by cables instead of traditional vertical members, gave it a modern and sleek aesthetic. 🌪️Moreover, knowing that the bridge was built to withstand even the harshest weather conditions, including earthquakes and high winds, provided a sense of security during my visit. It was evident that safety was paramount in its design. 😍Overall, my visit to the Creek Steel Bridge was both educational and exhilarating. It served as a reminder of the incredible feats of human engineering and innovation, leaving me with a newfound appreciation for the infrastructure that shapes our...
