Quick: Name a few famous bridges in L.A. Some of the bridges on this list are sizable strolls unto themselves, while others are connected to trails or walkways that make for a nice loop. For fans of L.A. history, bridges offer a link back to some of the city’s earliest inhabitants. AdvertisementThe nine walks on this list are each designed to give you a pleasant stroll — some slightly longer and more challenging than others, as noted. Since many of L.A.’s coolest (and most historic) bridges are concentrated around the L.A. River, there are even a few walks that combine views or crossings of multiple structures.
