The Bells Mountain Trail in Clark County is obviously in no way connected to the more famous Bells Mountain Wilderness in Missouri.  The trail which bears its name does not ascend or in any way touch the actual mountain.  But it bears some of the most beautiful views of the mountain from directly across the valley.  This was taken today (2015-01-11), on an extremely cloudy, foggy and generally soggy day.  But look at what you get to see, even in the middle of our waterlogged winters.  One drawback is that you have to pass through a lot of clear-cut forest on the trail side of the valley.  I say that, realizing now that almost none of these vistas would be possible otherwize.
This sturdy steel bridge crosses Cedar Creek on the downslope of the first five-mile leg of the Bells Mountain Trail.  It was made by the Continental Bridge Company of Alexandria, VA, and can withstand 6,000 pounds of weight (according to a plaque on the handrail). So unless you plan to park the Clydesdales on it , you should be good.  Of course, should it happen to collapse under you and send you hurtling downstream, you may take comfort in this fact: the plaque provides a convenient 800 number for you to call and get assistance.
