Natural Bridge Road Trail Description
The Nature Bridge Road Trail can be started at two different locations. You can either choose to do the route starting from Badwater Road and hiking up Natural Bridge Road or you can drive up Natural Bridge Road and use the designated trailhead. We recommend using the allotted trailhead as walking along designated park roads can be dangerous.
Having arrived at the trailhead, follow the Natural Bridge Trail northeast as it makes its way through a canyon. The Natural Bridge Trail itself is very straightforward. Simply follow the well marked route as it makes its way through the canyon, picking up elevation as it goes.
The Natural Bridge Trail will bring you to the natural bridge and other unique rock formations, where it will then end. After you have gotten a chance to enjoy the view and take some pictures, simply turn around and backtrack your steps towards your vehicle.
