Natural Bridges National Monument
National Monument · UT
Three majestic natural bridges invite you to ponder the power of water in a landscape usually defined by its absence. View them from an overlook, or hit the trails and experience their grandeur from below. Declared a National Monument in 1908, the bridges are named "Kachina," "Owachomo" and "Sipapu" in honor of the Ancestral Puebloans who once made this place their home.

Things to Do
Hike to Kachina Bridge
Named for the petroglyphs on its side, hiking to the base of Kachina Bridge is taking a trip back in time. Gain new perspectives as you stand beneath the widest, and probably youngest, natural bridge in the park.
Hike to Owachomo Bridge
Owachomo Bridge is the most accessible and most photographed natural bridge in the park. It's also likely the oldest natural bridge in the park. See this ancient wonder up close with a half-mile round-trip hike.
Hike to Sipapu Bridge
Sipapu Bridge’s tremendous span inspires and awes the imagination. Hike to the second largest natural bridge in the United States and, along the way, explore the geology of this fascinating region. You will fully appreciate this incredible natural feature with an adventurous canyon hike.
Hike to the Horse Collar Ruin Overlook
Get a birds-eye view of Horse Collar Ruin from this mesa-top overlook. A short hike over slickrock provides the chance to ponder what life may have been like 700 years ago. From the overlook, see the remarkably-preserved ancestral Puebloan structures and the surrounding canyon country.
Walk to the Kachina Bridge Viewpoint
This trail provides aerial views of Kachina Bridge and the surrounding landscape. Desert plants abound along this winding, paved trail. Conveniently located halfway along the scenic loop drive, this paved trail is a hub for other, more rugged trails.
Walk to the Owachomo Bridge Viewpoint
This viewpoint provides sweeping vistas of the smallest, and perhaps oldest, bridge in the park. This trail is good for any time of day or season. As the final stop along the loop road, Owachomo Bridge is the perfect conclusion to your visit at Natural Bridges National Monument.
Walk to the Sipapu Bridge Viewpoint
The Sipapu Bridge Viewpoint is your first introduction to the natural bridges – and what a great place to start! This viewpoint provides scenic views of the second largest natural bridge in the United States and the largest in the park. The viewpoint is just a few minutes drive from the visitor center.
