Placer County, California's Bridges: No Hands Bridge across the North Fork of the American River (3)

November 2012 (38.913 Degrees, -121.0416 Degrees) No Hands Bridge

State Route 49 is called the 'Golden Chain Highway' because it follows the path of the '49ers' who traveled this route looking for gold. A particularly beautiful part of the highway is east of Auburn (the capital of Placer County) along the North Fork of the American River. Whenever there is a break in the trees, you can see the Mountain Quarries RR Bridge, the State Route 49 Bridge, and the Foresthill Bridge lined up above each other.
