Taj made his own bike jump. What a cutie!!! Graham tested it out and found it acceptable. :)
Natural Bridge National Monument is a "Must See". If you haven't heard of this place, then put it on your list of places to go right now. This monument left all of us in Awe and exhausted !! The park is about one hour and 15 minutes away from our campground. It was worth every mile driven to get there. The pictures speak for themselves!!!
There are three main bridges to see in a nine mile loop. Each bridge has a look out point and a hiking trial that leads you right under the arch. My kids and I hiked to all three bridges. The hikes were very technical so my parents did the ones that they felt comfortable doing.
The first bridge to see is called Sipapu Bridge. The hike to this bridge was the most difficult. But not too difficult for my spider monkeys. Taj, Pepper and I hiked down to the very bottom of the arch. Asher and Graham hiked down and then up and over to the top of the bridge. Crazy boys.
Steel stairs for the part that is a complete drop off.
We hiked down ladders.
There they are on top!!
This part was very steep so they put a rail for you to hold onto while you descend.
Steps were carved into the rock to help you get down.
Look at that view!!!
There are the boys directly on top of the bridge.
Taj lying down!!!! hahahahaha
The second bridge was called Kachina Bridge. This hike has hard but not as hard as the first one. My dad came along for this one.
A rail to hold on to while you descend the carved steps.
Under the arch!!
Asher being a ninja!
The last bridge was called Owachomo Bridge. This hike was the easiest of the three. We all enjoyed this one.
You can't tell but that is Asher in the middle of a back flip on top of the bridge.
On the way home we were dazzled my the sunset!!!
