Another very high bridge is the I-90 Veteran's Memorial Bridge just east of Coeur d'Alene, ID. It crosses one of the bays of Lake Coeur d'Alene, and while you can't see much from the bridge itself that whole stretch of highway is WAY up above the lake. Great views. Very beautiful drive.

Like some other highway bridges, at night time or on a foggy day you might not even notice that one is there.

Another scenic northwest bridge is the Deception Pass Bridge near Oak Harbor, WA. The best thing is you can watch the tidal flows underneath it. I've been over it only a couple times but it often looks like a river down there instead of the sea.

And just a few weeks ago I went across the Nisqually Canyon bridge at Mt. Rainier, about a mile down from the current glacier terminus. Also looked down on this bridge from a couple thousand few above it on the mountain.

Not us, but my two girls and I looked just about the same as this group:
