Slide Canyon Bridge
This is a rather short bridge but only because slide canyon is not very wide. It is not really even a canyon, more like a big scar on the side of the mountatin. It drops down at something like 45o. The side of the mountain is pretty step any way but that cut makes it impassible without this bridge.
