This is Owachomo Bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah. This monument was set aside in 1908 to protect three magnificent natural bridges and they can be viewed along a one-way scenic loop road. Owachomo is the third bridge along the road and is the most photogenic and thinnest of the three. It's also the easiest one to hike to, both because it's the shortest distance from the road and because it has the least amount of elevation change to get to and from.
The pool in the foreground is called Zeke's Bathtub after Ezekiel "Zeke" Johnson, the national monument's first superintendent.
Owachomo spans 180 feet, is 106 feet high, 27 feet wide, and is only 9 feet thick. Because of its thinness, it's considered to be a very old natural bridge.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
