Bridge of the Gods, Natural landslide dam at Columbia River, US.
The Bridge of the Gods spans 1,858 feet across the Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon and North Bonneville, Washington.
The original natural dam formed between 1450 and 1700 through a massive landslide that temporarily blocked the Columbia River and reached 200 feet in height.
Native American Klickitat tribe narratives tell of two mountains transformed from quarreling brothers who fought over the land near the Columbia River.
The steel truss cantilever bridge constructed in 1926 serves as a toll crossing point between Oregon and Washington states at mile 40 from Portland.
The Pacific Crest Trail reaches its lowest elevation point while crossing the Columbia River on this bridge at Cascade Locks.
