Things to do

Sipapu Bridge

This is a must hike to Sipapu Bridge, if you only pick 1 bridge to hike down to this is the one. The 1.5 miles hike includes climbing 2 short ladders but it’s a beautiful hike. Sipapu Bridge is the second largest natural bridge in the United States.


Kachina Bridge

This is the youngest bridge of the 3. We stopped at the view point but did not hike down.


Owachomo Bridge

This is a short 0.5 mile hike to the base of the bridge. This is the oldest natural bridge in the park.
