Located at the junction of White Canyon and Armstrong Canyon about 50 miles northwest of the Four Corners boundary of southeast Utah, Natural Bridges National Monument features a magnificent naturally carved bridge of white Permian sandstone from the Cedar Mesa Formation that gives White Canyon its name. The bridge, which is the 13th largest natural bridge in the world and called Sipapu, is one of three bridges in the park, including Kachina and Owachomo, which are all Hopi names. Formed through erosion by water flowing in the stream bed of the canyon, the bridges can be viewed from Bridge View Drive, a road that winds through the park past the bridges, as well as from several hiking trails leading down to the bases of the bridges.
