Natural Bridge Falls

Back

The rock arch that gives the area its name, collapsed in 1988 but the Boulder River continues to cascade over a 100-foot precipice. Paved trails lead from the parking area to scenic views of the river and the waterfall. Interpretive panels along the paths explain geology of the region and the formation of the Natural Bridge Falls.
