Bingo, phinz...

What is the name of this mountain and what is its primary claim to fame? I'll accept two different names (as the mountain is known by two different names).

 

[TATTRAT]

Mt. Rainer?...or McKinley?

 

[phinz]

You're half right.

Mount McKinley...is also known as Denali.....highest peak in North America.

What bridge is this (the real name, not the name for the body of water it crosses) and where is it?

Yes, but you didn't say where... I know you know, but not everybody else does.

You're up, once you tell everybody else where it is.

 

[Barbara L]

Whoops! It is in Charleston, South Carolina. (And no, I didn't know it just because I live here. I live a long way from there!).

Ok, this one is probably too easy. What is this?

Is that a jackal?
