3. Rainbow Bridge National Monument
Comprising an amazing 290 feet across Bridge Canyon, Rainbow Bridge National Monument is the biggest known natural bridge in the world. For various Native American tribes, this holy location is very important culturally and a masterwork of natural construction. Accessible mostly by boat from Lake Powell or by a challenging hiking trail (with appropriate permissions), the monument gives guests an opportunity to see one of nature’s most amazing accomplishments. Rising 290 feet high and spanning 275 feet across, the bridge is both taller than the Statue of Liberty and longer than a football pitch. Striking strata of red and buff-colored sandstone on the adjacent canyon walls depict a geological story millions of years in development. Through interactive exhibits and educational programs, visitors may discover how water and wind erosion sculpted this amazing monument over many millennia. The monument’s secluded position guarantees a quiet experience for people who travel there and helps to maintain its natural beauty.
