Description
The Bridge of the Gods spans the Columbia River in the town of Cascade Locks, four miles upriver from Bonneville Dam. It is a toll bridge operated by the Port of Cascade Locks. The current toll is $1 for passenger cars and light trucks travelling in either direction. The bridge was originally constructed by the Wauna Toll Bridge Company, and opened in 1927. When Bonneville Dam was built, the bridge was raised and lengthened to account for the higher water levels.
For Oregon hikers, the bridge offers easy access to several hikes in Washington such as Hamilton, Table, Wind, and Dog Mountains. Of note, it is also part of the Pacific Crest Trail, and the lowest point in the entire trail system.
