Bridge of the Gods
This fine structure is to be found spanning the Columbia River at the site of the Cascade Locks, about forty miles east of Portland. While first opened in 1926, it had to be raised in 1938 due to the construction of the Bonneville Dam not far downstream.
The name of the bridge comes from Klickitat oral tradition: hundred of years ago a landslide filled in the river and allowed people to walk across. A wonderful explanation of this can be read here.
