Crooked River Canyon

posted in: In The Dalles | 0

North of Bend OR is the Peter Skene Ogden State Park, where US-97 crosses the Crooked River. The river has cut a 300 foot gash in the plains, and it’s pretty impressive. Canyon is crossed by three bridges close to each other: railroad, US-97 and old US-97. Pictures are from the old road bridge.

When we drove south over the canyon, there was a company offering bungee jumping from the old road/ pedestrian bridge. No, we didn’t avail ourselves.
