Natural Bridges National Monument is located about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of the Four Corners region where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet. Declared a national monument in 1908, it was Utah’s first national monument. There are three natural bridges, named Kachina, Owachomo, and Sipapu after the Hopi Native Americans who once inhabited the area. The natural bridges were formed from the erosion caused by water flowing in the bed of the canyon.

The bridges are located at an elevation of up to 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) and can be seen from the Bridge View Drive or by hiking along the trails in the area.
