The original Bridge of the Gods was created by the Bonneville Slide, which dammed the Columbia River (see also Columbia River Gorge) in the modern-day Pacific Northwest of the United States in the eighteenth century. It was a landslide across the Columbia 200 feet high.
It has been verified geologically, and there are native legends of it.
It is now the name of a bridge, the Bridge of the Gods, across the Columbia between Oregon and Washington.
