NATURAL BRIDGES
NATIONAL MONUMENT, UTAH |
 |
| Located on a
tree-covered mesa cut by deep sandstone canyons, three natural bridges formed where
meandering streams eroded the canyon walls. The bridges are named Kachina, Owachomo and
Sipapu. Natural Bridges are formed by running water and hence are much rarer than arches,
which result from a variety of other erosional forces. |
