Ah yes, the footbridge. I wish I had read this trip report before hiking this today. I successfully drove to the trailhead and made it to this footbridge without incident, but just after crossing that bridge, that is where I dropped the ball and did not see the trail turn that I was supposed to make almost immediately after crossing it. Instead, I kept going and after about 1/4 of a mile more, I came to a junction with two jeep roads: one going left and one going right. I chose the right one and eventually came to a clearing where the road just ended. I then turned around and went back the way I came. I got a bit lost when I tried to climb the big class 2 rockslide on my right (thinking that it would take me to the ridge that I would need to gain), which took me to another jeep road, but then I was so disoriented that I decided to just be safe and go back down the rockslide and head back to my car. Nevertheless, I did not summit, but I will be back.
