A bungee jumper does a backward plunge off the Bridge to Nowhere in the San Gabriel Mountains in 2016. (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times) Dozens of bungee jumpers take an arduous five-mile hike each weekend to launch themselves off the 120-foot Bridge to Nowhere deep in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. This is Bungee America, Southern California's only commercial bungee-jumping venue, an extremely remote attraction on a 50-acre private inholding about 20 miles north of Azusa. And now, after 30 years of operating without a county conditional use permit, the popular operation is in trouble.
