Rainbow Bridge National Monument |
Description:
Rainbow Bridge is the world's largest natural bridge. The span has undoubtedly inspired people
throughout time--from the neighboring American Indian tribes who consider Rainbow Bridge sacred, to the 300,000 people from around the world who visit it each year. Please visit Rainbow Bridge in a spirit that honors and respects the cultures to whom it is sacred.
While Rainbow Bridge is a separate unit of the National Park Service, it is proximate to and
administered by Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. For additional information about services and facilities connected with Rainbow Bridge, visit Glen Canyon NRA's Home Page.
Accessibility:
The trail to the first viewing area at Rainbow Bridge is handicapped accessible, as are the rest rooms there.
Getting Around:
Rainbow Bridge is accessible only by boat or by a 13 mile hike (with permit from the Navajo Nation). The public may access Rainbow Bridge by boat across Lake Powell.

By boat, it is approximately 50 miles (80km) from Wahweap, Bullfrog, or Halls Crossing to Rainbow Bridge.
You may also backpack to Rainbow Bridge across Navajo Nation lands. A permit from the Navajo Nation is required. You may write to: Navajo Nation, Parks and Recreation Department, Box 9000, Window Rock, Arizona 86515.
