Natural Bridges National Monument

Defined by three stone bridges, Natural Bridges National Monument is the oldest National Monument in the state of Utah, as it was established in 1908. The Kachina, Owachomo and Sipapu bridges were carved by meandering streams, slowly eroding away the soft sandstone of the area. Rich in Native American Culture, Natural Bridges is an area that was repeatedly occupied and abandoned throughout history as the climate of the era changed. During this time, the canyon has been occupied periodically from 7000 B.C. to the Puebloan migration in the 1300’s, and then again by the Navajos and Paiutes in more recent history.
