Research Your Hikes!

• Natural Bridges/Bears Ears Loop
  • Sipapu Bridge hike- out and back- 1.2 miles (total)- but almost 500 vertical feet
  • Geologic guide to hiking sipapu bridge
  • Sipapu- Kachina hike (involves car shuttle) - 5 miles
  • If opting for shorter hike, finish driving the Natural Bridges loop, stopping as desired at trailheads to scope out the other bridges from the rim.  
  • Then, exit the park and back past the Visitor Center (use restrooms and restock on water here if needed)
  • Retrace your steps almost all the way to the Hwy 95 but turn left on the road to Bears Ears
  • Drive up to the Bears Ears, get out between the buttes for some photos!
  • If time, go to the meadow viewing point
• Butler Wash: good map;
  • Procession Panel-- 
  • Monarch Cave ruins-
• House on Fire Ruin and beyond (1.5 miles ROUNDTRIP to the ruin, but opportunity to explore up canyon much further!)
