 By far the most popular destination on Lake Powell, Rainbow
Bridge stands majestically above the clear blue water creating an awe-inspiring sight. Photographs simply cannot capture the
size of this monolith. The world's largest natural bridge, Rainbow Bridge is 290 feet tall, spans 275 feet, is 33 feet wide
and 42 feet thick. It is called "Nonnoshoshi" by the Navajo people, or "rainbow turned to stone." The stone bridge is
formed of Navajo Sandstone at the top and Kayenta Sandstone at the base. Its deep spiritual significance should
be respected and visitors are asked not to walk beyond the viewing area. Fishing, swimming, rock throwing and walking pets are prohibited.
Most boats are handicap accessible, but please give us advanced notice as some are not
