Sipapu Bridge Trail

 We stopped at Natural Bridges National Monument on our way from Arizona to Moab Utah. The first trail we hiked on was the Sipapu Bridge Trail. This is a 1.2 mile round trip hike with 500 ft elevation loss/gain.












Sipapu Bridge is difficult to see from the top of the trail.

 The first of the ladders going down into the canyon.

 As the trail descends, it gets easier to see Sipapu Bridge.
