the trail at at 2271 feet altitude which posed a significant safety hazard to climb over. Additionally there was a cornice overhang remaining that is poised to come down and there was more friable San Gabriel granite to the right of the calving which is poised to come down. The United States Forest Service was looking at the problem with the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders to determine what can be done about the hazard. Safe passage through 50 meters of trail covered by the rock fall required crossing the river two additional times during a few months of the year; the riverbed is dry the rest of the year. As of July 2022 the official website still showed 2010 as the last worked date of the trail. Bungee jumping The bridge is a private inholding within the Angeles National Forest. Bungee jumping is provided by a private company. Jumpers typically meet at the main parking area for Heaton Flats Campground early in the morning, collecting at the Forest Service gate and then walking to the East Fork Trail trailhead where jumpers begin the hike generally as a group. After individuals jump from the bridge, people hike back either alone or in pairs or in groups, some times doing so after dark. Safety issues There have been a large number of fatalities along the East Fork of the San Gabriel River due in part to the swift water of the San Gabriel River which can rise significantly and without warning when heavy rainfall to the Northeast of the region introduces flash flood waters to the river. Crossing the river to and from the Bridge to Nowhere can be dangerous and even individuals crossing in groups have experienced fatalities. Trail repair and reporting Currently the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders have repair and maintenance responsibility for the East Fork Trail from the Heaton Flats Campground, through the Sheep Mountain Wilderness, up to the foot of the bridge's leased land. Significant problems with the hiking trail which need to be addressed (dead trees blocking the trail, rock falls, extensive erosion) may be reported to the Trail Repairs web site, or they may be reported to the United States Forest Service by telephoning the San Gabriel River Ranger District.
