I would not be able to cross the swinging bridge either but you can go around. The year they made everyone get off and walk across no hands would have done me in. I have crossed no hands (before the rails were put in), but I did it at a gallop looking straight down in front of me chanting "it's only a road, it's only a road." That is the honest truth except for the time I crossed it reciting a poem Becky Hart wrote for me.
Maryben is a person I've heard
Whose fear of great heights is absurd.
No hands bridge she will cross
On her trusty hoss
and if Blue falls, he can fly like a bird. (Blue was the named of my horse)

I crossed it off the minute I saw pictures of the swinging bridge.... :)

By the way, stories of jams of riders causing others to be chasing the cutoffs, caused me to cross Tevis off of my bucket list. I have substituted the Big Horn 100.
