Natural Bridges

We're on a roll!

Natural Bridges National Monument is a pretty incredible place. Unlike Arches National Park, where the arches are formed by wind and freezing water, the arches/bridges in Natural Bridges were formed by flowing water.
Because of the storms in the area, the river was flowing full and fast, and there were smaller streams flowing in creek beds that are dry most of the year.
The last photo is of one of those usually-dry creek beds...a blood-red waterfall, colored red because of the deep red color of the surrounding soils.
So, enjoy Natural Bridges...and we may just do a couple more posts today, too!
