It's possible to hike out to the Alaska Railroad's Riley Creek Bridge, but unfortunately that was time that the Benchmark Blasterz did not have to spend hiking today. Especially not when we discovered that the benchmark on this bridge was on the other side Riley Creek, which was a longer hike.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed our view of this beautiful bridge from the park road at these coordinates: N 63* 43.5900, W 148* 55.5864.
