We Off-Road to a Secret Historical Swimming Hole Sheep's Bridge in AZ
Due to it being 110 Degrees out and way to hot to do Buggy things. To our suprise the historical Sheep's Bridge was way sick!. Not only was the Bridge rad but the swimming hole was absolutely insane!. With a huge rope swing that was hoisted from the bridge and a missive swimming hole. We had also herd there was a hidden hot spring there that we forgot to look for. We had my oldest friend from grade school out for his fist time, in his new to him Defender and we also had Jess's Dad in his brand new base Bronco his first time wheeling his own rig in 17 years!.

@kenanderson2216 Жыл бұрын

@@WRECKEDGEAR IF you look across the other side, you'll see a road exiting the river bout 50 yards west of the bridge. My buddy dunked his land cruiser in there and sunk it. I had to cross there to try to pull him from the other side. Too steep on the beach side. I do have an F250 on 40s/8" lift so I'm up there. Got about 5 feet deep just before the other side. SCARY. I had only heard of people doing this prior to my crossing. I had a cab full.

@vinceimp9581 11 ай бұрын

Haven't been there in years, I believe there is a longer way like 60 or 70 miles that has no water crossing and you end up on the opposite side of the river by the bridge. The one you cross first thing is like half the distance and a much less twisty road.

"SHEEP'S BRIDGE SECRET SPOT" When you walk across the bridge (from west to east) if you follow the trail back around & down the other side, follow it into the bamboo where the hot springs are. They get warmer the farther up you go back in that bamboo. That's the "secret spot" at sheep's bridge. It's been a few years since I've been out there, hopefully the galvanized tubs are still in the bamboo, there used to be 3 of them that got progressively warmer going up stream.
