Natural Bridges National Monument features the thirteenth largest natural bridge in the world, carved from the white Permian sandstone of the Cedar Mesa Formation that gives White Canyon its name.
A natural bridge is formed through erosion by water flowing in the stream bed of the canyon.
The three bridges in the park are named Owachomo, Kachina and Sipapu (the largest), which are shown in the video in this order.
The natural bridges are accessible from the Bridge View Drive, which winds along the park and goes by all three bridges, and by hiking trails leading down to the bases of the bridges.
Horsecollar Ruin, shown toward the end of the video, is an Ancestral Puebloan ruin visible from an overlook a short hike from Bridge View Drive. The site was abandoned more than 700 years ago but is in a remarkable state of preservation, including an undisturbed rectangular kiva with the original roof and interior, and two granaries with unusual oval shaped doors whose shape resembles horse collars (hence the site's name).
