Graham Hill Travel

The original bridge was built in 1878 and lasted 15 years before the weather destroyed it. Suggestion from a Vermont native David Locke to Supervisor Rodger’s was to cover the bridge and it would last longer. Before 1978, old timers used to ford San Lorenzo River at the site of the bridge and then ford Zayante Creek and head to Santa Cruz on Graham Hill road.
