Ed,

Photos were taken from the O & W Bridge on the O & W Road; which used to be 
the O & W Railroad. They removed the tracks years ago. It is off 297 just 
West of Oneida. It is very hard to find and the entrance is not marked. From 
27, go west on 297, turn left on Verdum Rd, veer right on O & W Road, and 
then go about 15 miles. The road starts out as paved, gets worse and worse 
and then becomes a four-wheel trail. I would recommend a pick up or SUV, the 
road is pretty bad and unless you enjoy four wheeling I would stop at the 
railroad bridge. A sedan can make it this far if you creep along. This is 
location of the pics. Past the bridge the road crosses the river twice and 
comes out on the south side of the park near Honey Creek. This road is 
usually only passable in dry times and unless you are comfortable driving 
through deep water I would stay clear. We drove out the way we came.

You can also get there from the Leatherwood station. Take the John Muir 
trail south and hike about 8 miles.

Pics of bridge and north view.
