Utah


Natural Bridges Monument

The Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah protects some of the best ancient stone architecture in the southwest. It's in the lower part of Utah, with a whole bunch of canyons. They are from the Permian age, 260-253 million years ago, made out of cedar mesa sandstone.

 

This is a pretty National Bridge.

Three famous natural bridges were formed by meandering rivers. Their names are Kachina, Owachomo, and Sipapu. The Horse Collar Ruins are major attractions at National Bridges; it's one of the best preserved Pueblo sites in the region. Due to the isolation of the National Bridges, few visitors ever made the journey down all of these canyons.
