Death Valley 2022/23

I love this so much. Im living vicariously through yours and Brice's adventures.

How does a LPB look on satelite? Like a choke in the canyon?

I usually look for narrow places and/or places in shadow but that's just a starting point.  The only way to tell if there is a bridge in an area is to go there.  Here are a couple examples that illustrate this.

In this satellite photo I traced the canyon floor in red.  Even though I've been to this location I still find it hard to believe there is no bridge here, but there isn't.



Below is the satellite of Little bridge.  I haven't been to Little bridge yet but I'm assuming its the light colored rock extending into the middle of the wash.



This is neither a narrow section nor casting shadows and yet there is a bridge.  So, I pretty much go out and explore with no firm expectations one way or another.

Bridge hunting is just a way to spur me into exploring places not many people visit, and places I might not otherwise go.  Finding a bridge is just a bonus.
