In the state of Utah, meandering streams cut through sandstone walls and formed three natural bridges, Sipapu, Kachina, and Owachomo. Natural Bridges National Monument, the first National Park service established in Utah, is over 6,000 feet above sea level.
Wild animals live here, from lizards to black bear.
Ancient people found this area to be an ideal home. Over 200 archaeological sites are in the park. The Hopi Indians use the term, Sipapu, to apply to the opening under the bridge to another world. Therefore, Sipapu became the name of one of the bridges. Sipapu Bridge is considered to be middle aged.
