Trail to Natural Bridge

Chiricahua National Monument

Rock formations with a natural bridge featured.
The bridge can be seen from a distance at the end of the trail.

NPS

The least used trail in the park climbs through oak and juniper woodlands to a ridge then drops into Picket Park before rising again. It ends at an overlook for the small water-carved bridge located across the canyon. Return the same way.

Many people feel this trail is more difficult than other moderate trails. The 4.8 mile roundtrip hike has almost 1,000 feet of elevation.
