Description
...Mandy did stay in the car!
...this picture taken from a position about 40 feet out on the old Highway 97 bridge (no longer open to traffic) over the Crooked River Gorge in Oregon.
...that's 300 feet straight down...and you don't see the edge or the gorge until you get right to the stone wall at the edge.

P.S. The sign is actually in the parking lot.

Great view. Maybe a slightly higher fence is needed. The first step looks a dooooozy!
Osper

Nice shot and watch your step the first one is a biggggggg one, the bridge does look great, well done!!

pretty low !! but looks beautiful too!!

I can never understand why so many owners let their dogs off the lead on the Dorset cliffs, with tragic and/or expensive results. The lifeboat and coastguard are called out often for them. A scary looking slash in the land!
awjay
that first step looks a big one

Fantastic capture.

Great capture Bill and that is a long way down.

You would never really expect this judging by the adjacent landscape...great shot!
mariogiannecchini

Great shot. Makes me dizzy.
debbielove
Er! Yes, that's a drop for sure and I think signs in BOTH the car park and on the edge would be an idea!? Brilliant shot though.. Rob

It's a 300 foot drop. Amazing place! Those sheer cliff walls are fascinating. You did a good job with this, even though the light was in the wrong place. The vegetation patterns caught my eye. SO much to see!

Look, there's a sign.......I can't read it........let me get a little closer...... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!! Well, I'm glad Mandy stayed in the car! :-D That's quite a shot, Bill! And remember - it's not the fall that kills you - it's that sudden stop at the bottom...

Fantastic image Oh and the poor lil dogs that have died there...and the sign even warns people as well...........how do they ever get down to get the dogs and take them away if they even do???????????? Looks like a pretty awesome place................I would stay in the car myself I am afraid of heights............ Tis a fav with me Hugs Susan~

Yep that's the difference between a gorge and a canyon. You don't see the drop until reaching the edge! Great image Bill, like the bridge!
cfulton
That is a sheer ravine! Enjoying the tour, Clive

Super POV and Andrew is right - that first step would be a killer.
