Overview

Hype:

Though the name tends to be misleading, Natural Bridge is one of several natural arches in Bryce Canyon and creates a beautiful scene at this viewpoint. This arch, sculpted from some of the reddest rock of the Claron Formation (rich in iron oxide minerals), poses a stark contrast to the dark green of the Ponderosa forest that peeks through the arch from the canyon below.

Story

We started our drive-thru tour of Bryce at Rainbow Point. Tara hadn't even been to Bryce, and obviously the kids hadn't either, so we did all the roadside pullouts.
