When we arrived at Natural Bridges National Monument, we were disappointed to find the visitors center closed and no one around. No problem paying the entrance fee, we had our Golden Eagle passes. But what if we wanted a t-shirt? The Park Service needs more funding.
Anyway, we drove around the loop, stopping many times to see and hike towards the bridges. First up was Sipapu Bridge.
Then we hiked to the Horse Collar Ruin overlook.
Next up was the Kachina Bridge.
The surrounding area was fabulous...
Finally, the Owachomo Bridge.
Then it was back to Bluff via the road towards Blanding and then south to Bluff. This highway is incredible, passing through Comb Ridge. Photos wouldn't even begin to capture the immensity and beauty of this scenery.
Back in Bluff, the BBQ joint across from the motel was open and hopping. Great food, even for Vegans! That night there was a power failure in town. But, as the full moon poked through the clouds and shined in our windows, all was good.
