Cascades on Columbia River

Description
  • The old Indian legend held that the cascades here were formed when a great earthquake destroyed the 'Bridge of the Gods' which at one time, according to tradition, spanned the Columbia at this place. Of course, this is not accepted today, but it is easy to understand how such a legend was evolved. Our picture shows the cascades at a period far below the high water mark. The fall of the river through the cascades is about 40 feet.
