Natural Bridges National Monument - Utah

After leaving Muley Point, we continued north on the Moki Dugway, towards Natural Bridges National Monument. On the way, we stopped at one geocache. It had a very unusual cache container (in Y's hand).


By the time we arrived, the temperature had dropped and the wind was gusting. The weather made for a quick "get out and take a photo" drive. The bridges are carved by rivers flowing on both sides of a thin wall of sandstone, until the water wears through and creates a new course for the river. The bridges blend in well with their surrounding, so click on the images to view full-size.
