The next day, on our way to Sante Fe, we stopped at Natural Bridges National Monument...this park was actually the first designated National Park Service site (sorry Yellowstone - you can still have the title of first National Park though). This is the Sinpapu Bridge, 2nd largest in the U.S. (to Rainbow Bridge only about 50 miles away, as the crow flies):
View of canyon, around the corner from Sinpapu Bridge:
Good thing there wasn't a cloud in the sky:
Horsecollar Ruins (lowest half circles in the canyon):
Here's a closeup of one (I love the zoom on my new camera!)
Kachina Bridge (they think this is the 'newest' bridge since it's so thick still):
Owachomo Bridge...we actually hiked down to this one:
Find Dad - now you can see the scale of it...it was huge!
Down in the canyon next to Owachomo Bridge...there was still quite a bit of snow here:
Cool rock formation (the start of flaky biscuits, Kam?)
