No problem! Yea, the "easy" way is still like 15 miles

Much as I love exploring Anza Borrego, I’m leaving that one to you! Thanks for making it easy.

I only recommend experience hikers doing this one. Also, follow the train tracks, don't take the canyon trailhead! I wasted so much time trying to get down that canyon.

That's me walking the bridge 😂😂 it was a crazy adventure for sure 💯💯💯

One must follow the "draw" of the wash. Not to difficult. Until you hit a "waterfall" anyway.

Wonderful. Shades of my youth. I met my wife in the desert in Ca, before we moved away. But we have spent quite a bit of time there.

I've never heard you so out of breath. I'm glad I passed on this when in the park haha. It looks cool, but seems brutal. Definitely hiking boots kind of place.

Simply incredible!!

I dream of Some day, over seeing the renovation of that route; let alone the Campo museum access. It does seem pretty rickety, yet I never doubted that modern standards could do a basic renovation of that route; in addition to strengthening the trestle. Otherwise, I will definitely plan on making that hike myself in the future.

Thanks for the video .

Dark colors are good when it's cold out. When it's warm... they absorb the heat from the sun. Nice job guys.

This was so cool! Thanks for sharing with us Josh.

We did this yesterday. We had 4 kids under 12 with us. Actually very doable if you’re in decent shape. The last 1/4 mile is a little sketchy in spots. If you fear heights this section will test you. We followed the rails back down to the bottom to experience the tunnels and smaller trestles, though it lengthened the hike to 13 miles. Great day! Get out there!

Wow Josh! That was insane! Glad you made it! 🚶🏽‍♂️😀

What a hardcore hike. You guys are brave to walk on top of it!

Oh wow- nope lol. I'm glad you filmed it so I could watch, but I'll take the easier trails in Anza Borrego. Beautiful scenery! 🙂

a few people just built a go-kart to go see it haha

My wife and I did this around 25 years ago and we did the train track route. It was a tough trek also and she lost two toe nails from the abuse of walking over the train ties for many miles. It was worth it, however.

Hey Justin, I believe that A) Walking on the trestle itself is trespassing, and B) Drones are forbidden in Anza-Borrego. Great to see you two, and I like Chris’s Hiker Chat shirt. My daughter and I backpacked nearby last year. A gorgeous area.

Hello Sir. That shirt is a 2010 classic. I believe that while you are technically correct about the "trespassing" aspect, I would analogize short distance (5-10 feet) walking on the trestle as akin to going 57 mph in a 55 zone. I would be more concerned regarding personal safety for people which Josh covers. ;)

Gotcha, I just worry that people walking along the bridge will ultimately lead to the whole area being closed at some point. Someone may get hurt going for the IG shot and that will be the end of it. And especially, someone with 275k viewers might be unwittingly encouraging people to walk the length of the bridge. :) @@TheLastAdventurer

It’s illegal to trespass because if you get hurt that’s you’re fault.

We have Kinsol Trestle not far from our place. Canada's largest I believe. We have tonnes of Trestles here on Vancouver Island. As well if you are ever near Kelowna BC you need to rent a bike and ride Myra Canyon. 18 Trestles and 2 tunnels.
