The bridge can be seen in the beginning of the 2002 film XXX [5] in which Vin Diesel's character Xander Cage is seen driving a stolen red Chevrolet Corvette off of it, then jumping from the car mid-flight and parachuting to his accomplices at the bottom of the American River Canyon. It also appears in a montage sequence toward the end of the romantic comedy The Ugly Truth,[6] and has been utilized in multiple exercise equipment advertisements. As of the middle of 2016, there have been 76 suicides since the bridge's construction.

It is the highest bridge by deck height in California, the fourth highest in the United States, and among the seventy highest in the world at 730 feet (220 m) above the river.

One of the tallest bridges in the USA and the tallest bridge in California at 730'. Park on the East end of the bridge and walk to the middle for a heart stopping view.

If you are wondering where all of those cool bridge photos come from, its here. This bridge is among the 5 HIGHEST bridges in the United States. Drive across, or walk. Walk under the Bridge via Clementine Trail (park at the Confluence).

We call Foresthill Bridge "Valentine Bridge" because of the heart shapes people have formed with rocks on the canyon wall. This bridge is 731 feet in the air making the highest bridge in CA.
