View of Eagle Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Eagle Rock is a prominent rock feature that towers over a neighborhood of the same name. If you are here at the right time you will be able to see how the rock got its name, as the shadows created by an overhang appear in the shape of a soaring eagle.

Built in 1912 this historic bridge plays an important part in the growth of the city. For a short time in the 1930's and 40s it was part of the iconic "Route 66" that stretched from Santa Monica to Chicago. Aside from a short closure and refurbishment after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the bridge has been in operation for well over a century.
