Story

After our other activities, we didn't want to go back to camp because of all the bugs, so we went to Natural Bridges National Monument. I had visited the day before with the kids, so I waited in the car with the kids while Tara and Ondy ran out to Sipapu Bridge Overlook and Kachina Bridge Overlook. Then we all took the Owachomo Bridge Trail down under the arch. The sun set as we were walking back to the car, and we got quite a few fun pictures with the sunset.
