Larson. All rights reserved. © 2008 - 2021.<br> <br> <hr> <table><tr><td> Natural Bridges National Monument is small by Utah standards, but contains three natural bridges within easy reach. The bridges were formed when a winding river cut a canyon. In time, some of the houseshoe bends connected before the wall above could erode away, leaving these short tunnels through the rock. The difference between an arch and a bridge is that an arch was carved by wind and errosion without the aid of the river, while a bridge actually has water flowing under. Technically one of the bridges has become an arch because the river cut a new path bypassing it, leaving Owachomo Bridge above and beside the river. <br> <br> </td><td class="w100"> <img src="/web/20210517073334im_/https://www.placesearth.com/support/LavaBd01_thumb.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="Road Trip when this place was visited."><br> <div style="text-align:center"><span class="font-10"><a href="roadtrip/code/utah2008.shtml">Road Trip Article</a></span></div> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> A Bridge View Drive allows easy access to view points and trails allow a closer look. The Loop Trail connects to Bridge View Drive at Sipapu Bridge and Owachomo Bridge and follows the river past all three bridges while a trail at Kachina Bridge connects the mid-point of the Loop Trail to Bridge View Drive. A short side trail allows views of Horsecollar Ruins, a cliff dwelling in one of the small side canyons. <br> <br> Sipapu Bridge is the second largest natural bridge in the world, second only to Rainbow Bridge in Glen Canyon a few hundred miles away. In Hopi mythology, sipspu is a gateway through which souls may pass to the spirit world. The trail to Pipapu Bridge is the speedest in the park requiering stairs nad ladders. <br> <br> Kachina Bridge is thought to be the youngest of the three. It is often missed when first viewed fro mthe overlook because of its size, orientation, and camoflage, then suddenly pops into view. Ther is a pile of bolders at the far end resultng from a 4,000 ton rock fall in June 1992. Kachina dancers play a central role in Hopi religious tradition. <br> <br> Owachomo Bridge seems to be the oldest of the three. The Tuwa creek no longer flows under and its delicate structure suggests age. The Owachomo Bridge trail may be the easiest of the three and leads to the Loop Trail at the water's edge. Owachomo means "rock mound" in Hopi and the bridge takes its name from a rock formation on top of the southeast end. <br> <br> At the edge of White Canyon can be seen Horsecollar Ruins with two granaries. Each granaries has a door shaped like a horsecollar, hence the name. Adjacent to the granaries is a kiva.<br> <br> A Visitor Center near the park entrance provides information about the bridges and services. <br> <br> The Monument occupies a section of Cedar Mesa at 6,500 feet above sea level. From several places around the park, The Bear's Ears can be seen. These are twin buttes on the near horizon. The original road into the park passed between these buttes ending at the old Visitor Center opposite Owachomo Bridge. <br> <br> The park has the distinction of being solar powered. A photovoltaic array covering an acre of land near the Visitor Center produces up to 50 kilowatts of power to provide electricity for the small housing area, visitor center and other facilities. <br> <br> The park is open year-round. The Visitor Center is open daily 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. <br> <br> Extended hours in summer. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. <br> <br> Natural Bridge National Monument is easily reached by a short drive (UT 275) off Highway 95. The park is 38 miles west of Blaning, Utah. </td></tr></table> <table><tr><td> <img src="/web/20210517073334im_/https://www.placesearth.com/usa/utah/san_juan/nat_bridges/medium/sign6008_080524.jpg"
