4/24 - Natural Bridges was Utah's first National Park. There are three bridges beautifully sculpted by water.
Owachomo Bridge was the easiest to get to - only about 150 feet down and a little over a half mile.
Can you spot Vaughan in his yellow shirt?
Then there was Kachina Bridge - about a mile and a half but 450 feet down. I only got part way down before my fear of heights kicked in hard. Vaughan continued down while I sat on the side of a cliff and waited for him to lead me back out.
Here is what it looked like from above.
Vaughan continued down to get this picture for me.
This is a picture looking down over the cliff he was walking along.
and finally the bridge.
My view of him walking in to canyon to go under the bridge - can you spot his yellow shirt?
Then there is Sipapu Bridge - but only from above.
Also at Natural Bridge are some Puebloan ruins.
From Natural Bridges we went a little further south to hike Fallen Roof Ruins.
This hike was nearly 2.5 miles and another 360 foot elevation change.
My knees definitely got some abuse today.
We had to crawl under and over lots of boulders & logs.
Meanwhile, along our drive - we had to drive around here - she refused to move.
