High Trestle Trail Bridge — photo spot in 2335 Qf Ln, Madrid, IA 50156, USA
High Trestle Trail Bridge
A striking 13-story steel viaduct with repeating geometric frames spanning the Des Moines River — iconic for its leading lines, symmetry and LED lighting. Photograph at golden hour for warm textures, at blue hour for the illuminated frames, or sunrise for mist over the river. Accessible via paved trail with parking at both trailheads (Madrid and Ankeny), no entry fee. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds; surfaces are flat and bike-friendly. Respect trail users and check local drone rules.
