"Since Oct. 2017, they have been designing, funding, and building a suspension bridge hanging off of a 70 foot central tower. The bridge, an idea sparked by a frequent hiker, runs over a valley, giving visitors an up-close view of the trees without the climb."
"Oates says there was a perfect site [for the bridge] at Hidden Lake Gardens. There’s this sort of bowl-shaped valley. It’s called a kettle hole, a deep depression caused by a chunk of glacier falling off. The 700 foot bridge spans that ‘kettle hole’ valley."
