During our Lake Powell Vacation we took a couple of little trips in the pontoon boat, the first one was to Rainbow Bridge.
Rainbow Bridge is one of the world's largest known natural bridges.
The span is 234 feet (71 m). At the top it is 42 feet (13 m) thick and 33 feet (10 m) wide
It s considered sacred by some Native American Tribes.
With the extremely low water levels at Lake Powell it is quite a journey to get to the bridge.
We all go in the pontoon boat and headed up the canyon.
The canyon was gorgeous!

In this map you can see where the boat couldn't go any further and we had to get out and walk through the dried up riverbed. It was really pretty, even if a bit hot.
There was another boat stuck in the muck so they climbed on our boat and were able to get to the shore. We hiked up with them to the monument.
This hike gets a 8/10

| 1 | Access to trail | The boat ride was great and it was kinda fun walking through the dry river bed |
| 1 | Difficulty | It was a long, sometimes steep hike |
| 2 | Views | Great views all around |
| 2 | Destination | Beautiful natural bridge |
| 2 | Time on trial | 2.85 miles and 2 hours |
We started the hike part at 11:10am and got back to the boat at 1:15pm. My phone tracked 2.85 miles, 8970 steps and 2 hours.
According to All Trails the hike from the boat docks is 1.8 miles up and back and 32 minutes. Because of the water level we got to hike an extra 1.55 miles.
There was talk of quicksand. I don't know if it could be, it was thick!
First view of Rainbow Bridge
We got some pictures

Then hiked a bit closer.
It reminds me a bit of Delicate Arch. If you like arches check out my Arches of Southern Utah Collection. Love this feature in @PeakD!
We had a great time hiking to Rainbow Bridge as a family!

This is the first time I have seen a very beautiful natural charm, the tunnel is like being carved by amazing nature.
It deserves to be called the rainbow tunnel, the hill is like a beautiful painting of the color of the rocks arranged into a hill is a world-class landscape taste, maybe I can be there someday.
amazing
Hi @flanz15 I hope you can be there summer day too. Did you look at the other post about delicate arch? It is amazing to and much easier to get to.
This arch is very beautiful, even a place like this is the first time I've seen it.
I live in Indonesia and don't have a place like this, I hope we can be good friends and can help me when I'm new to Hive, thank you my beautiful friend.
Wow - what a place. You have some stunning pics there, and the arch is beautiful !
Thank you so much! It was a very cool place and quite an adventure getting there which makes it even more memorable.

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
Hi Jay, yes it is a big concern as a lot of the southwestern states get our water from this area.
Yes I have read reports about that
Wow!!! Amazing nature
Thanks amazing nature is right!
What a very beautiful and breath taking view. How I wish I could be there too. I have not been to a place like this. This is super amazing my dear friend. Keep safe always.
