Red Rock Canyon State Park is located in Hinton, Oklahoma, south of I-40 and about 30 minutes southwest of El Reno. The park offers tent and RV camping, rapelling, hiking, fishing, picnicking,and views of the absolutely beautiful red rock walls.
Chance Wright's Eagle Project was building a foot bridge on the Rough Horsetail nature trail. The approximately 10 ft. long bridge spans a small ravine, one of many along the trail path. At the time of this posting, the Eagle Project bridge rickety and badly in need of some supports under the long wooden planks. They will break, and soon, if more support is not provided to the sagging planks of wood. However, keep in mind that many consider the "rickety" bridge to be a really fun thing to cross!
At the west side of the bridge you will find the following etched into the planks:
