Deception Pass Bridge, Washington State - Scenic and Foggy

Spanning the turbulent waters of Deception Pass, this iconic bridge in Washington State is a feat of engineering and a source of anxiety for many who cross it. The bridge towers 180 feet above the churning waters below, where currents can reach up to 7 knots. The bridge's steel trusses create a dramatic silhouette, but the height, combined with frequent fog and strong winds, can make the crossing feel like an eerie and dangerous experience.

The dense fog often obscures the view, adding to the feeling of being suspended in the void above the swirling waters, making it a truly terrifying journey.
