Took a day trip to Rainbow Bridge National Monument via Lake Powell. One of the largest natural arches in the world, a sacred Navajo site, it spans 274 feet, is 42 feet thick at the top and is 290 feet high. After a long boat ride through some pretty narrow passageways, we had to hike about a mile to the bridge. Beautiful boat ride, quite spectacular formation.
Good shot of the bridge. See the people at the bottom of the picture for perspective.
Narrow passageways to get to the bridge.
Note the water line showing Lake Powell below normal heights; fortunately it is rising 1 foot/day now.
Buttes everywhere along the boat ride. Pictures don't do them justice.
Interesting effect from weather, ice
