The walk across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge gets better every time. This 5.5 km out and back trek takes you over the bridge and back, where you can look out over the islands, the water, and Mount Rainier. It’s a fun walk for kids and anyone who likes an impressive viewpoint. The walk has a gentle incline and is stroller-friendly. There will be traffic next to you on the hike, but hopefully the views are enough to distract you.

Route Description for Tacoma Narrows Bridge Walk

The Tacoma Narrows bridge is a fun walk suitable for the whole family. The walk goes across the bridge and back, giving you great views of the surrounding islands, water, and mountains. It’s lightly inclined and incredibly easy to follow.

Begin from the middle of War Memorial Park. Head towards the bridge, crossing N Jackson Ave and walking on the Tacoma Narrows Trail next to the interstate.

You’ll follow the trail onto the sidewalk of the bridge, strolling over and enjoying the view. The route ends at the opposite end of the bridge, where you’ll turn around and head back to the trailhead the same way you came.
