you can either drive through the park or get out and walk for miles on end of amazing vistas.
Travel time: 1 hr 20 min Nestled away from the highway’s view, the incredible force of water and the ever persistent ticking of time has carved three spectacular natural bridges out of White Canyon. These stunning rock bridges can be accessed by moderate to difficult trails, or viewed by way of a nine-mile scenic drive nearby.
South of Canyonlands National Park, but somewhat out of the way, is Natural Bridges National Monument, protecting some outstanding formations. If you are in the vicinity, or if you haven't had an opportunity to view a natural bridge before, this park is definitely worth a stop. The main tourist attractions are three natural bridges; Kachina, Owachomo, and Sipapu, all of which are accessible by short hikes. If you are only going to visit one, make it Sipapu, the largest and most impressive of the three. The walk in is a moderately strenuous, 1.2-mile round-trip hike, and it involves navigating steep sections and climbing a few stairs and ladders. Kachina Bridge is reached by a 1.5-mile round-trip hike, but the trail is easier, although it still has some steep sections. Owachomo Bridge is the easiest to reach, requiring less than a half-mile round-trip walk. It is the smallest of the three but still worth seeing. Also of interest in the park are the Horsecollar Ruins, revealing the remains of ancient Native American buildings inhabited more than 700 years ago.
