Natural Bridge Canyon, Death Valley National Park

Updated: Aug 28

Natural Bridge Canyon in Death Valley is one of the park's most rewarding short hikes — a 1.5-mile round trip through increasingly narrow canyon walls leading to a dramatic 50ft natural rock bridge formed by flash flood erosion over millions of years. The canyon walls display rich colors and interesting geological layering throughout the hike.

The natural bridge itself is impressive — a freestanding arch of rock spanning the canyon high above. The canyon continues past the bridge for those who want to explore further. Easy access from the Badwater Road in the central Death Valley area. A great quick hike to combine with other nearby attractions.
