アバジョ山脈のおすすめランニングルート

The narrow rock bridge stands out little from its surroundings in terms of shape and color, making it not immediately recognizable from the vantage point.

Lovely walk in the afternoon sun, plenty of shade and great underfoot.

Owachomo Bridge is likely the oldest natural bridge in the park. This delicate bridge was named for the large rock mound on its left side; Owachomo is a Hopi word for “rock mound.”

This memorable section of the popular Chesler Park Trail takes you through a smooth, narrow slot canyon. This shaded spot is a nice break from the sun as you explore the Needles District.

Only about 100 meters from the parking lot is a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Owachomo Bridge.

The Owachomo Bridge is the third rock arch on the one-way street. The short way to the viewpoint Owachomo Bridge Overlook is concreted. Here you have a good view of the rock arch.

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... komoot.de/smarttour/503790?ref=wsd

The descent to Sipapu Bridge would not be possible in the sheer cliff faces without ladders and ropes. I enjoyed going down. It is relatively easy to get down thanks to the aids. Only the last few meters to the stream bed are a bit more difficult, but they are also secured with ropes. If you have doubts, you should at least climb a short part down to the ledge with great all-round views. Worth it. Those who are a little more daring and have more stamina can also descend in a loop and follow the creek to the Kachina Bridge and return to the Sipapu Trailhead on the plateau. https://www.komoot.de/smarttour/503790?ref=wsd
