Though the name tends to be misleading, Natural Bridge is one of several natural arches in Bryce Canyon and creates a beautiful scene at this viewpoint. This arch, sculpted from some of the reddest rock of the Claron Formation (rich in iron oxide minerals), poses a stark contrast to the dark green of the Ponderosa forest that peeks through the arch from the canyon below.

The Natural Bridge lookout is one of only a couple roadside lookouts in Bryce Canyon National Park. The majority of the the other lookouts require a small hike to get to and have a much greater panoramic view of Bryce Canyon. Here, the only thing to view is the Natural Bridge arch. During the winter months, access may be restricted due to heavily snow covered roads.
