Wheres the best place to watch the jumpers?
The best place to watch the jumpers is on the bridge itself. There is no charge to walk on the bridge and you can gain access onto the bridge from 9am to 3pm. If you walk out to the middle of the bridge, you’ll see the platform where the jumpers will take the big leap. If you don’t mind walking about 45 minutes down to the landing area at the bottom of the gorge, you can watch the jumpers land or splash down in the New River. There is no transportation to the bottom for spectators and no food or beverages, so be sure to bring your own supplies. However, shuttles to the landing zone are available to jumpers and their friends/families. The best place to park is usually as close as you can get to the bridge itself. There are designated parking areas, but it usually ends up being one large parking lot close to the bridge. Please count on parking at least a mile from the end of the bridge, but it could be up to 2-3 miles if it’s crowded. Don’t forget, the bridge is closed to vehicular traff
