    Start to round trip through the canyon or just a nice walk to the rim with view into the river bed and towards the natural bridge

      December 13, 2022

      In the Natural Bridges National Monument there are 3 rock arches down in the valley, which were eroded over millions of years. (Sipapu, Kachina and Owachomo - Bridge)

      A one-way street leads to the respective parking lots at the trailheads.


      The second arch is the Kachina Bridge.

      The descent to the Kachina Bridge is also steep but largely without ladders and ropes, which is not required. I had a lot of fun climbing down here too.

      Only the last few meters in the valley and at the stream bed are a little more difficult, as there was deep mud and larger pools of water.

      But with a little instinct and by means of detours I managed to get to both sides below the rock arch.

      Of course you can also start a round trip here and hike up the creek bed in the direction of Sipapu and return on the plateau to the Kachina Trailhead...
