Table Mountain, a prominent peak on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge about 4 miles north-northwest of Bonneville Dam, is one of the region’s most dramatic landmarks. Rising abruptly above the river, it is especially notable for a southeast face that drops 2,400 feet in less than a horizontal mile and ends in an almost vertical 800-foot cliff. Linked with Greenleaf Peak and Hamilton Mountain, it forms an impressive cluster above the gorge. Between 1425 and 1450 AD, the mountain’s south side collapsed in the Bonneville Slide, a massive landslide that dammed the Columbia River and gave rise to the Native tradition of the Bridge of the Gods.
