North Fork Skokomish River Bridge
Posted June 30, 2009, by Elaine Livengood (elivengood8777 [at] msn [dot] com)

Please note; the river is the South Fork of Skokomish, not the North Fork. Breathtaking view from up there! Old logging railroad bridge originally built by Simpson Logging Co. in 1929. Well worth the short drive up a gravel road. Logging is still going on, so be sure to watch for trucks.
