The High Trestle Trail Bridge, spanning the Des Moines River, is one of Iowa’s most iconic landmarks. This former railroad bridge has been transformed into a must-visit destination, offering breathtaking views and an unforgettable nighttime light display.
The bridge is part of the 25-mile High Trestle Trail, a favorite among cyclists, runners, and walkers. At night, the bridge comes alive with glowing blue LED lights that create the illusion of traveling through a tunnel, symbolizing the coal mining history of the region.
