When you stop at the Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint, you'll be within a stone's throw of three amazing bridges. The first of the three is the Crooked River Railroad Bridge. When it was completed in 1911, it was the second highest railroad bridge in the country. It's 320 feet above the river.

This bridge is 460 feet long. This bridge is still in use today; it's part of the BSNF Railway.

The second bridge you'll find here is the Crooked River High Bridge. It was completed in 1926 and it is 295 feet above the canyon floor.

This bridge is 464 feet long. It was the motor vehicle bridge over the Crooked River on US 97 from 1926 to 2000 when it was replaced. Today, this bridge is open to pedestrians and you can walk across it to take pictures and to marvel at the river far below.

The third bridge in this location is the bridge that replaced the Crooked River High Bridge. This bridge is called the Rex T. Barber Veterans Memorial Bridge.

It's wider than the other two bridges and was an excellent replacement for its predecessor. It's 535 feet long and it is 300 feet above the canyon floor.

All of these bridges are amazing examples of engineering.

At the Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint, you'll find plenty of signage to learn more about these bridges.

There's a trail along the edge of the canyon so you can go get a closer look.

There are also bathrooms and picnic tables nearby so you can relax and enjoy your visit.
