#### The cracks and rifts in the valley, along with the rocky bridge that passes overhead, give a window into the fascinating geological history of Death Valley.

A roughly 2-mile (3-kilometer) round-trip hike runs through the fascinating rock formations of Natural Bridge Canyon. As its name suggests, the canyon contains a rocky bridge under which you can pass in this picturesque valley. Learn about the formation and geological history of the canyon through the illustrated panel at the trailhead.

Pack enough water and sunscreen for the hike. Once you embark on the trail, you’ll soon find yourself on the gravel surface of the canyon mouth. Study the rock face to find the various chutes, mud drippings and faults that are identified in the panel.

Continue uphill for about 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers), until the path between the walls of the canyon begins to narrow. At this point, the natural bridge passes overhead. Take shelter from the scorching midday heat in the shade of the rock formation, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) tall. Notice the deep cracks in the bridge that give it an unstable appearance.

Snap photos of the impressive bridge and consider how it was formed over the years from erosion. Relax beneath the rocky overpass and enjoy a picnic in these breathtaking surroundings.

As you leave the bridge behind, you’ll reach a dry waterfall where a stream once flowed. Go past the large boulder wedged in the canyon and climb over a marble dry falls. Walk beneath the bridge a second time on your way back to the start of the trail.

Natural Bridge Canyon is in the southeastern section of Death Valley National Park. Drive south from Furnace Creek for about 20 minutes to get to the trailhead. Leave your car in the parking lot, a 15-minute walk downhill from the natural bridge. See some of the nearby landmarks, such as Funeral Peak, Sidewinder Canyon and the Ashford Mills Ruins.
