After filming wrapped, the production left the bridges and scaffolding for the state park to do with what it wanted. The park supervisor told me much of it was sold for scrap metal, but one of the bridges was saved and relocated to another section of the park and is currently in use over a gulley on a trail not too far from Elephant Rock. A couple pictures are included below. A number of people have mistaken this bridge for the one Kirk died on but this is the bridge where Kirk confronts Soran after leaving the Nexus with Picard.
The trek up to the top of Silica Dome is not recommended for everyone as it gets increasingly steep, with lots of jagged, loose rocks and cliffs everywhere. William Shatner, Malcolm McDowell and Patrick Stewart wore safety harnesses (which I didn't have) that were removed digitally. Once at the top (where Kirk was buried) there is only a matter of maybe six feet diameter to stand on before it slopes off into very sharp drop-offs going hundreds of feet down. Definitely one of the more dangerous locations and all of this added to a couple of these comparison shots being slightly off just a bit.
