From Chelan, take the Lady of the Lake ferry to the village of Stehekin, a trip of 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on which ferry you catch. Note that each ferry only makes one trip per day from Chelan, so plan on overnighting in Stehekin in order to complete this hike.
From the ferry landing, catch the bus up valley to the High Bridge stop at the end of the road. A one-way trip costs $7 per adult. No facilities exist at the trailhead.
