12 Stops Along the Pacific Crest Trail
Marvel at the mountain ranges, waterfalls and desert landscapes that Wild author Cheryl Strayed trekked past during her Pacific Crest Trail hike.
Bridge of the Gods
At the end of her 1,100-mile journey, Cheryl arrived at the Bridge of the Gods, a steel structure that spans the Columbia River, connecting Oregon and Washington. Legend has it that long before a man-made crossing was built, a great landslide formed a stone bridge in this very spot. Nearby, hikers can find sweet escape at East Wind Drive-In, a mom-and-pop spot known for its towering soft-serve ice cream cones.
