GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Baring Creek Bridge (1931)
Constructed in 1931, Baring Creek Bridge is a seventy-two foot long
reinforced concrete arch with a stone masonry facade. The bridge
constitutes one of the final links along Going-to-the-Sun Road, and
designed to be unusually high and long to minimize the destruction of
the natural landscape and to allow for an existing hiking trail to pass
underneath unobstructed.
