Natural Bridges National Monument

 Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah has three very large bridges which are like arches but formed by river flow. We went on a number of shorter hikes down into the canyon to a bridge and back. There is a 6 mile loop trail here that we should do some day if we go back. Nice area and most trails can be extended to continue into the canyon. Trails were well done with rock stairs and ladders where needed. Flowing stream now at bottom of canyon. We saw that the water can get 6 feet above current level at times. We saw two different cliff villages today. One inside the monument and one on the way back to Monticello.








































House On Fire - Utah

 Nice 2 mile RT hike on the way to Natural Bridges National Monument. There was some ice in the stream even though it was 60 degrees. The first few pictures are driving South from Moab toward Monticello and Blanding.
