Corkscrew Bridge is one of the few structures in the Yellowstone image set whose name points to its form, a name that suggests a winding or spiral approach rather than a plain span over water. Yellowstone's early bridges and roads were built in the decades after the park was established in 1872, when the U.S. Army and later the National Park Service had to make rugged backcountry routes usable for horse-drawn wagons and early automobiles. Bridges like this one were often built with local timber and stone, and they show how engineers worked around steep grades, river crossings, and thermal terrain. Look at the alignment and railings to see how the design answered those constraints.
