Bridge of the Gods (land bridge)

The Bridge of the Gods was a natural dam created by the Bonneville Slide, a major landslide that dammed the Columbia River near present-day Cascade Locks, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The river eventually breached the bridge and washed much of it away, but the event is remembered in local legends of the Native Americans as the Bridge of the Gods.

This article is about the Bridge of the Gods landslide and legend. For the modern road bridge, see Bridge of the Gods (modern structure).

The Bridge of the Gods is also the name of a modern manmade bridge, across the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington.
