We came across this particular spot a few years ago during our first visit. The name of the location comes from a bridge that takes you over the water to access the other side of the riverbank...

Incredible views of Yosemite Falls and the valley and surrounding cliffs!! Not to mention so peaceful and relaxing.

Nice picnic area with a river and mountain rock view. However, we didn't picnic because there was snow everywhere. Also, there is a toilet here.
