This was an awesome drive leaving Natural Bridges National Monument, down a switch back mountain on gravel with a 10% downgrade the whole way. We were in my Dodge Dakota and it did very well. What a view and what a drive!
This is looking DOWN!
How about these for hair pin turns?
We are still looking down but are getting closer to the bottom.
Can you imagine making this turn in a Semi truck? Well it happens, one passed us and we had to squeeze over like a sardine.
Anasazi Cliff Ruins and the National Bridges National Monument, Utah
The first photos are of Butler Wash Ruins. Double click each of these photos to get a better view. Check out the video also.
These are foot holds chipped from the cliff so the Indians could be more sure footed.
The next ruins are called MULE CANYON RUINS.
This ruin is called HORSECOLLAR RUINS.
We also saw the Natural Bridges from afar. It was a very lengthy hike to get to the base of them which we did not choose to take. I got pictures from above.
This one below is a photo of a photo that gives a clearer view.
I took these because they are such an unusual formation of sandstone.
