Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge ~ Cooper River Bridge




The Arthur Ravenel Bridge is an iconic landmark of the Lowcountry. The bridge spans the Cooper River connecting Mount Pleasant and downtown Charleston. The sunsets over downtown Charleston so the ideal view is facing away from Mount Pleasant. I prefer to park at Memorial Waterfront Park directly under the bridge and walk up from there. The pictures on this post are all taken .75 miles into the walk across the bridge and the incline makes for a great walk. There is no need to walk the whole bridge because the view does not change that much as you approach East Bay Street. From the middle you can see Castle Pinckney, USS Yorktown, dolphins, and various ships passing through.
