Natural Bridges National Monument is a U.S. National Monument located about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of the Four Corners boundary of southeast Utah, in the western United States. It features three natural bridges, one of them is the second largest natural bridge in the world, carved from the white Permian sandstone of the Cedar Mesa Formation that gives White Canyon its name.
Owachomo Bridge is the smallest and thinnest of the three natural bridges here and is commonly thought to be the oldest. We may never know for certain, as each of the bridges certainly have eroded at different rates. Regardless of its relative age, Owachomo Bridge is certainly the most fragile and elegant of the three spans, and an awe inspiring feature of erosion. The iconic bridge is 32-meter High and 55-meter long, while only 3-meter thick.
Natural Bridges National Monument is the first ever international Dark Sky Park as designated by International Dark Sky Association in 2007.
