Description[]

The Troll Bridge is blue (and green in The Shy Rainbow) and is located above a very narrow valley. This location has appeared in multiple episodes of Dora the Explorer. It is unknown whether there are multiple bridges that are above the narrow and small valley, or if there is one and is on a path that several paths merge with, which would explaining why Dora and Boots cross it multiple times while going to different places.

Trivia[]

The Shy Rainbow is the only episode where the troll bridge is blue and green rather than just blue, possibly because the producers want it to change it up a bit to fit the episode's theme (colors).
- This is similar to the way Map changes his appearance in various episodes to fit the theme of the episode (e.g. pirates in pirate episodes)
To the Monkey Bars is the only Season 2 episode where Dora and Boots cross it.
Not only just Dora and Boots are the ones that crossed the Troll Bridge, there are some other episodes where their friends cross the bridge with them.
Swiper and Señor Tucán are the only ones that never crossed the Troll Bridge.
