The home of three very impressive natural bridges and a friendly tarantula
Natural Bridges National Monument, in the four corners area of southern Utah, contains three very impressive natural bridges, one of which is listed as the thirteenth largest in the world. Different from an arch, a natural bridge is formed by erosion via water flowing through a stream bed that slowly erode meanders, or goosenecks, in a stream to create the bridge. During this hike, while on the lookout for rattlesnakes, we encountered this tarantula while taking a break.
