Sipapu Natural Bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah.
According to the Natural Arch and Bridge Society, Sipapu is the 13th largest rock span in the world with a span of about 225 feet and a height of about 144 feet.
This is the first of the three meander-type natural bridges that visitors encounter along the loop road in Natural Bridges National Monument. The bridge is visible from a viewpoint at a pullout along the road, but visitors can also hike a trail down to the bridge itself. The roundtrip hike is only 1.2 miles, but hikers lose and then gain back 600 feet of elevation and have to climb a couple of ladders.
This photo is from a long ledge along the trail that affords a great view of just how big the opening under this arc of rock is.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
