Rainbow Bridge

Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge, in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, is the world's largest natural bridge. Its predominant color is salmon-pink, with dark stains called desert varnish. It is considered a sacred place by the Navajo Indians, for whom personified rainbows have stood as guardians of the universe. This natural wonder nestles among canyons carved by streams en route to the Colorado River from Navajo Mountain's north flank.
