Rainbow Bridge - National Monument Cruise – Page, Arizona Departing from Wahweap Marina - Lake Powell, Arizona


The Tour took 5 hours. The trip to Rainbow Bridge is 50 lake miles and takes approximately 2 hours, depending on weather conditions and lake levels. At Rainbow Bridge, we had a sixty minute layover in order to walk to the bridge. The world's largest natural bridge, Rainbow Bridge is 290 feet tall, spans 275 feet, is 33 feet wide and 42 feet thick. It is called "Nonnoshoshi" by the Navajo people, or "rainbow turned to stone." The stone bridge is formed of Navajo Sandstone at the top and Kayenta Sandstone at the base.
