Nice and challenging walk via ladders down to the valley floor for nice view of stone bridge. Walk can be expanded to roundtour including the other bridges, but walk may be strenouus (lot's of sand to walk on) and hot/dry. Bring water and take your time.

In Natural Bridges National Monument, there are three rock arches in the valley below, which have been eroded over millions of years. (Sipapu, Kachina, and Owachomo Bridge)

A one-way road leads to the respective parking areas at the trailheads.

The first rock arch is the Sipapu Bridge.

The descent to the Sipapu Bridge would be impossible without ladders and ropes due to the steep rock walls. I enjoyed the climb.

It's relatively easy to get down thanks to the aids.

Only the last few meters to the streambed are a bit more difficult, but they are also secured with ropes.

If you have concerns, you should at least descend a short section to the rocky ledge with its great panoramic views. It's worth it.

Those who are a little more adventurous and have more stamina can also take a loop and follow the stream to the Kachina Bridge, returning to the Sipapu Trailhead on the plateau.
