Rainbow Bridge National Monument, Lake Powell, UT
This is actually one of the largest natural bridges in the entire world. Found in South Lake Powell, Rainbow Bridge is truly a must-see sight. It’s regarded as sacred by Native Americans, so Rainbow Bridge’s grandeur makes it a clear national park bucket list contender.
To truly understand the brilliance of this natural monument, the bridge stands at 290ft from the base to the top, and it spans 275ft. The bridge is made up of two types of sedimentary rocks, Navajo and Kayenta Sandstone. You can reach Rainbow Bridge by water or land.
Courtesy docks have been set up two miles from the bridge on Lake Powell, which lead to an easy trail making a quick trip up to the bridge. You also have private boats as an option where you can access the bridge.

Have been through most of the western US Parks, and loved them all. The trip to some of the parks can be depressing given living conditions of natives. Haven’t been to the parks in Maine, still on my list, but have been through most of the western parks in winter and summer. Can’t be beaten. Plan to go again.
