Nostalgia tour continues: Natural Bridges National Monument
Feb 7, 2020 16:36:25 #
Natural Bridges is an absolute gem of a park (National Monument actually) and is well located if you want to hike in what was Bears Ears National Monument (before Trump stole it from us) but feel the need for an actual campground. It's the ONLY campground I ever stay at in Utah, quiet, clean and some cool views from it's edges. This first set of photos are all accessible bt trail and a tad of scrambling- more tomorrow to some lesser known spots with in Monument. If you look closely in the shadows of the center of the second image you'll see a pictograph up on a wall. Photo 3 is what that pictograph looks like close up. Photo 1 is Owachamo Bridge while photo 4 is of Sipapu Bridge, the largest in the Monument.

Really nice images. When we were there, it clouded over and it was difficult to get pictures without people. Yours are lovely!

How is Trump destroying the natural parks 😢? Beautiful photos 🤗🤗👍👍
By reducing them in size (85% reduction in Bears Ears), opening up the removed areas to fracking, mining (oil, uranium, nickel), grazing and chaining (where they mow down pinyon juniper forest by running bulldozers with chains between them).
