This postcard shows a bridge over the cascading Wahkeena Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. The falls are situated in beautiful canyon replete with greenery. The name, "Wahkeena," is an English transliteration of an Indigenous (likely Yakama) word meaning "most beautiful." The Wahkeena Falls bridge was designed by Karl P. Billner, who made the design of the Benson Bridge spanning the nearby Multnomah Falls. Simon Benson, a businessman and namesake of the Benson Bridge, funded both bridges as well as part of the Columbia River Highway. Samuel Lancaster, the chief engineer and landscape architect of the Columbia River Highway, planned many of the man-made structures and monuments lining the highway. The Wahkeena Falls bridge was completed in 1914.

This postcard shows the Shepperd's Dell Bridge, also known as the Youngs Creek Bridge, in Shepperd's Dell, a small canyon in Multnomah County, Oregon. Shepperd's Dell has alternate spellings including the one in the title as well as "Shepperds Dell." The bridge was designed by Karl P. Billner, who worked on other bridges lining the Columbia River Highway, and was completed in 1914. The canyon was carved by a creek which has two nearby waterfalls. Due to the relative difficulty in reaching the waterfalls, the bridge is arguably the most famous feature of Shepperd's Dell. The postcard depicts two vintage vehicles, perhaps motor tour cars, on the road. The Columbia River Highway is carried by the Shepperd's Dell Bridge.

Postcard is very clean and intact except for slight age toning on the back. A Fine copy. This postcard shows the completed Oneonta Tunnel. The Oneonta Tunnel runs directly through Oneonta Bluff. The Oneonta Tunnel was built in the 1930s to accommodate a new portion of the Columbia River Highway. A railroad had already been built directly against the Oneonta Bluff, so engineers concluded the most efficient option was to blast directly through the bluff. During the 1930s and 1940s, the Oregon Highway Department closed access to the Oneonta Tunnel as part of its plan to modernize the Columbia River Highway. The Oneonta Tunnel remained decommissioned until 1986 when legislature was introduced to reconnect historic portions of the Columbia River Highway to the new one. The Oneonta Tunnel was restored in 2006. Unfortunately, the Oneonta Tunnel fell victim to vandalism and the catastrophic Eagle Creek Fire in 2017. However, there are plans to restore the tunnel once again. Restorations to the Oneonta Tunnel are planned for late 2020 into 2021.

This postcard shows a view looking straight through the tunnel with its iconic five arched windows visible to the left. Mitchell (or Mitchell's) Point Tunnel was a tunnel on the eastern part of the Columbia River Highway that was bored through a cliff on Mitchell Point, a cape overlooking the Columbia River. The tunnel was designed by John Arthur Elliot and was completed in 1915. Elliot's idea for the tunnel was inspired by a similar one near Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. The tunnel was open to vehicles until the 1950s, but in 1966, it was demolished when Interstate 84 was constructed to accommodate more vehicle traffic. Currently, the Oregon Department of Transportation is considering a plan to recreate the tunnel as part of an effort to restore the historic Columbia River Highway.

The Oneonta Tunnel runs directly through Oneonta Bluff. The Oneonta Tunnel was built in the 1930s to accommodate a new portion of the Columbia River Highway. A railroad had already been built directly against the Oneonta Bluff, so the most efficient option was to blast directly through the bluff. During the 1930s and 1940s, the Oregon Highway Department closed access to the Oneonta Tunnel as part of its plan to modernize the Columbia River Highway. The Oneonta Tunnel remained decommissioned until 1986 when legislature was introduced to reconnect historic portions of the Columbia River Highway to the new one. The Oneonta Tunnel was restored in 2006. Unfortunately, the Oneonta Tunnel fell victim to vandalism and the catastrophic Eagle Creek Fire in 2017. However, there are plans to restore the tunnel once again. Restorations to the Oneonta Tunnel are planned for late 2020 into 2021.
