The inspiration for the impressive looking bridge has been taken from several other trestle bridges throughout the Province, including those along the Kettle Valley. The trestle bridge opened in December 2021 and is part of the larger plan to expand the Mountain Path trail network to connect several neighbourhoods in upper West Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path begins at the Cypress Pop-up Village just before the first hairpin corner of the Cypress Bowl Road. There&#8217;s ample parking and a great view from this location, however the hike to the trestle bridge is a roughly 2km, uphill walk along a gravel path. The trail begins alongside the Eagle Lake Access Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"3400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cypress Trestle Bridge\" class=\"wp-image-3400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"3401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-2.jpg\" alt=\"Cypress Trestle Bridge in the forest\" class=\"wp-image-3401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-2-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-2-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"3402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-3.jpg\" alt=\"Cypress Trestle Bridge\" class=\"wp-image-3402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"3403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-4.jpg\" alt=\"Foggy View from the Cypress Trestle\" class=\"wp-image-3403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"3404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-5.jpg\" alt=\"The Cypress Trestle Bridge\" class=\"wp-image-3404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-5-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vancouvertrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cypress-trestle-5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-the-cypress-trestle\">How to get to the Cypress Trestle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also walk to the trestle bridge from higher up starting at Chippendale Road on the north side of Cypress Bowl Road.
