Natural Bridges National Monument, established in 1908, protects three of the finest examples of natural bridges in the southwest. Located on a tree-covered mesa cut by deep sandstone canyons, the bridges formed where meandering streams eroded the canyon walls. The bridges are named Kachina, Owachomo and Sipapu. The national monument also contains ancient Puebloan cliff dwellings. It is part of the National Park System.
