How to visitBoat tour across Lake Powell or backcountry hike with a Navajo permit; sacred site

A 290-foot span of salmon-pink sandstone arching over a side canyon of Lake Powell — the largest natural bridge on earth and sacred to the region’s tribes. Most visitors arrive by boat across the lake; a few earn it on a long backcountry trek.
