Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah

The main attractions of Natural Bridges National Monument are three bridges. Their names are Sipapu, Kachina, and Owachomo. The names come from the Hopi Nation. The Sipapu is the biggest with a height of 67 m. The bridges were formed through erosion by water flowing in the canyon. All three bridges are accessible from Bridge View Drive by the hiking trails leading down to the basis of the bridges. We did the hiking trail leading to two bridges, Sipapu and Kachina.

The third one Owachomo we watched from the overlook only.
