Lake Powell Boat Tours

Rainbow bridge national monument.

One of the natural wonders of the world, Rainbow Bridge has been formed by erosion of the sandstone by water flowing from Navajo Mountain towards the Colorado River. It is the largest natural bridge in the world at 290 feet/88 meters tall and 270 feet/83 meters across. Rainbow Bridge National Monument is considered sacred by the Navajo culture as a symbol of deities responsible for creating clouds, rainbows, and rain--the essence of life in the desert.

Rising up at the edge of Lake Powell, Rainbow Bridge may be reached by  private boat tour or power boat rental . Rainbow Bridge is located 50 boat miles northeast of Wahweap Marina. Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas, managed by Aramark Leisure, offers boat cruises daily from Wahweap Marina... tour offerings, schedules and pricing are listed below.

RAINBOW BRIDGE CRUISE

For tour questions, please call: 1(888)896-3829.

For those looking for a relaxing way to spend the entire day on Lake Powell and to experience the geologic and spiritual wonder of Rainbow Bridge, this tour offers you the opportunity to relax and take it all in. Your US Coast Guard licensed Captain and crew will host you as you skim along the smooth waters of Lake Powell, 50 miles up the original path of the Colorado River, from Wahweap Bay to Rainbow Bridge National Monument. En route, your crew will share with you, via public address system and personal discussions, many compelling stories rich in the cultural and natural history of this region. You will sail pass numerous famous landmarks, and witness first-hand the power of wind and water and their role in sculpting the remarkable landscape. The 3 hour up Lake Journey permits you time to explore why Glen Canyon is such a special place.

At Rainbow Bridge National Monument, you will walk a maintained, fairly easy trail round-trip 1.25-mile hike to Rainbow Bridge. The bridge itself reaches 290 feet into the sky, and it 270-foot span is supported on each side by its own canyon. While the bridge is visually amazing, your visit to the monument is also your opportunity to stand in the shadows of native peoples who have celebrated the spirit and sacredness of the place for centuries. You may wish to take the time to explore many of the meanings the monument has to share.

You will spend about 1 hour at the Bridge then make your return hike to the tour vessel. After departing, as your crew winds the vessel back through the canyons and waterways, you may hear more stories regarding this region's human and natural history.

While the tour returns to Wahweap via the same route, the homeward journey permits you to hear more of the crew's stories, spend time talking to others, relax and absorb for yourself the day's experience, or make your own additional discoveries as the vessel heads for port.

NAVAJO CANYON BOAT TOUR

Spend half of a day on Lake Powell exploring the richness of color found in this region by taking a tour of the Lake's "Navajo Tapestry". This tour leaves Wahweap Bay, following the original path of the mighty Colorado River to Navajo Canyon, located on the Navajo Nation.

During your journey to the side canyons, your US Coast Guard licensed crew will share with you, via public address system and personal discussions, many compelling stories rich in the cultural and natural history of this region. You will pass a number of famous landmarks, including Glen Canyon Dam.

Approximately four miles past the Dam your crew will point out the entrance to Antelope Canyon by water. This high-walled Navajo Sandstone side-arm of Lake Powell is famous for not only its coloration but also for its slot canyons, found at its head, about two miles east. During heavy summer rain, this canyon is known to experience flash flooding, due to its narrow width and high walls. Antelope Canyon has become a popular kayak destination !

You will sail another 6 miles up the lake to Navajo Canyon, an exciting example of "Navajo Tapestry", the mix of colors found on its sandstone walls. Deep purples, burnt reds & oranges, and shiny blues are created by a natural mineral process, resulting in a "tapestry" of visual experience. This special patina takes centuries to form and is in a constant state of change.

While the tour returns to Wahweap via the same route, the homeward journey permits you to hear more of the crew's stories, spend time talking with others, relax and absorb for yourself the day's experience, or make your own additional discoveries as the vessel heads for port.

Head out on this 1.8-mile out-and-back trail near Tonalea, Arizona. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 32 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are April through October. You'll need to leave pups at home — dogs aren't allowed on this trail.

9/30/23 Beautiful hike and worth the price of the tour! I took the Lake Powell Boat Tours and had Ursula as our Captain. She was Diné and knew a lot about the historical information of the area :)! The hike itself is easy and they give you plenty of time to explore. Remember, DO NOT WALK UNDER THE ARCH. It's a sacred site and we're lucky to have access to it, so please respect it.

What a great experience. From the boat ride to the amazing arch. What a great day!!

Easy Trail, 1-mile

Beautiful place, but very long tiring ride to it. Make sure you have fast boat and enough extra gas for this destination. Short hike was extremely hot, so be prepared, bring Sunscreen and water.

The trail was fine. Our boat captain got us in to the first sand beach. From there we crossed the stream to start the hike. Water level will be lower after todays release. Gorgeous day for boat ride and hike to Rainbow Bridge.

1.5 mi hike from waters edge. There is a trail located on the east or left side as you’re walking up towards rainbow bridge. It is located high at the base of the wall

Be cautious near the Lake edge- quicksand is common.

Got lost trying to find the entrance boating all the way from Wawheap. Had to fuel the boat and jet skis up halfway. Wouldn’t recommend using jet skis to travel that far. It is a long trip. Worth it once you get to the dock and a easy hike in.

We went 4/6 and had the place to ourselves! The water level is low everywhere. When we began the hike it was at first tricky to cross over the dried out creek area, but once we noticed the common tracked area we made it across safely. It was gorgeous and stunning. Worth the boat ride for sure. We took a Paton boat from antelope point marina. We used a little more than 1/2 tank of gas. The marina workers had different opinions about whether or not we could make it on one tank of gas. Since the gas station on lake Powell is closed. We made it! My husband is also a very experienced boat driver.

Water level seems to be changing which changes the route leaving the dock. Approach the bridge along the west side of the wash initially. Watch for cairn guides where to cross to the east side. There is a well graded path that rises 25' above the stream bed for the best view.

we got here by boat and there was no trail. it seems there was a landslide or rocks that fell and covered it. we ended up walking along the right side of the riverbed, but it was super muddy. we ended up needing to cross the river and our feet sunk ankles deep. I even fell and dropped my dslr into the mud. so I'm pretty f*** salty. the mud sucked my shoes and socks in. I was able to save my shoe, but my sock is probably still there. it got less muddy the more we walked, but we had to walk on rocks majority of the way. it was kind of like a knock off narrows hike. anyways it was quite a sweet view once we got to the actual rainbow bridge... but I think we ended up in the ravine instead of the intended view point.

Awesome views! Easy hike and easy guide. One of the best places on earth.

Easy 15-20 min hike from dock. Trail is a bit dusty.

Easiest way to get there is by water. Renting a powerboat seems like the only option during COVID now. Totally worth it..the powerboat experience and the rainbow bridge. Navigating the water way took some work for us newbies.

The trail was super easy—not tons of elevation gain and really easy to see and follow. We drove from Wahweap and got to the boat dock around noon. There is basically no shade and it was 103 F so it was really hot. There are two small pavilions with benches and a little shade, but if there are crowds, don’t plan on being able to sit. The bridge is amazing and a must see! Well worth the short walk in the sun.

Awesome little adventure! Easy trail. No shade.

Easy hike, beautiful and peaceful national site.

So I am at Lake Powell Resorts & Marina where you go for the boat tour before you can start the hike and just an FYI. This boat tour is approx 6-7hrs. From 9-3:30pm. Through the months of Nov. 1-Feb. 28th 2019, Saturday’s only. You can only take this tour on Saturday! Also the cost for adults is $135.19 and children are $85.12. You can not see Rainbow Bridge from the boat so you have to hike about 1.5 miles on a natural path. With that being said, I will be back on Saturday! Good luck friend!

currently a mile hike with water level

What an unique experience! Out that way grab a boat and go, it's a must! The day after our wedding we celebrated with our wedding party and this was the goal to reach from there it was just enjoying the water. Having restrooms and piers made it easier to get to. Only complaint is people were just hanging out on their boats and not leaving to make room for more people. Boats on both sides were there before and after our hike and never got off their boat and there was a line of boats waiting.

Definitely one of the coolest places I have been and totally worth going. It has a spiritual feel. It’s an easy trail.

Very easy hike from the boat dock. we spent the past few days on a houseboat on Lake Powell do this was a must stop. Come early in the morning to avoid the tour boat crowds.

The arch is spectacular, but we used a group charter to get there and it was a little crowded for my tastes. The trail is good and a very easy hike.

Long boat ride, short hike from dock. Great views.

Beautiful short hike to a pretty spectacular geological formation. Very hot, as is expected for this area in summer, but was manageable with a lot of water, sunscreen, and hat.

took a boat with dora from wahweap marina...hike was relatively flat until the end. amazing views of the bridge

Excellent short hike. Rainbow Bridge itself is one of the most beautiful natural arches in the USA. I prefer this one over the ones in the Moab area.

I get almost to Rainbow Bridge and my point and shoot camera battery dies, so I have to run back to the tour boat and grab my Nikon which only has a telephoto lens on it and cell phone, but I have to make due with what I have so I don't get very close

• How To See Rainbow Bridge By Boat.

by Dr. Melanie | Aug 2, 2022 | Destinations , Latest Posts , Travel Tips , Uncategorized

If you have read articles or watched Youtube videos on trips to Rainbow Bridge by boat, chances are they are based on the period before Lake Powell’s water levels really declined. This trip occurred in March 2022 so you should be reading fairly recent info based on my publishing date. I hope to upload the YouTube video on this recent experience soon!

We wanted to see Rainbow Bridge by boat from Lake Powell. It happened to be at one of its lowest levels: 3523.53 feet since it started decreasing back in 2001. Its normal capacity is 3700 feet.

How to see Rainbow Bridge by Boat from Page, Arizona

We had to dock the boat on the shoreline and hike through some interesting terrain about three miles to the boat dock at the monument. This blog will tell you how to visit Rainbow Bridge National Monument at Lake Powell and what to expect for your boating trip. I will share our journey which started at Wahweap Marina in Page, Arizona.

This was Day One of my first time visiting Lake Powell and Utah itself. Be sure to keep reading for the tips and resources.

Where is Rainbow Bridge National Monument on Lake Powell?

Rainbow Bridge was established as a national monument in 1910 and is located in Forbidding Canyon, in Utah. This beautiful arch spans 275 feet with a height of 246 ft, standing as the tallest natural bridge in North America and the second tallest in the world after the Xianren Bridge (aka Fairy Bridge) in China.  It is located between the 49 and 50-mile marker on Lake Powell. If you are arriving from Wahweap Marina, it will be on your right. Directional signs will lead you to the monument; in our case, to the muddy shoreline a few miles out. We traveled with a friend, Captain Scott, an experienced Captain who has lived in Page, Arizona most of his life. The last time he had been to Rainbow Bridge was almost a year ago. 

4 Reasons Why You Should See Rainbow Bridge by Boat.

You can visit this beauty by land but this is a 30-32 mile round trip hike and you will need to plan for a couple of overnights along the way. Plus, you will need to purchase a pass from Navajo Nation. I haven’t hiked it but I understand this is not a hike for beginners.

As you may have guessed by now: There are no roads to Rainbow Bridge. 

Reason #1 : A boating round trip can be done in one day. Reason #2 : The second reason to see Rainbow Bridge by boat is that, aside from your boat rental and gas, getting to Rainbow Bridge is free. There is no admission and no permit needed to dock your boat there.

Reason #3 : The lower water levels revealed incredible canyon walls and artifacts from activities going back several decades. We also spotted shipwrecks, oars and a Pepsi cola can from the ’70s.

Reason #4 : Your sanity. Being on or near water is therapeutic and good for stress.

We didn’t even know if we were going to be able to see Rainbow Bridge until we got there. We had to safely get off the boat without sinking in the muddy quicksand. Keep reading! Fortunately, we made it work, but if you stop and turn around, you will at least come away with beautiful lake memories!

If you are looking for a relaxing experience, depending on when you go, the stillness and beautiful colors of the lake will make this a trip you will never forget.  Past Antelope Canyon Marina, you may get the entire lake and Rainbow Bridge to yourselves as we did!

Should You Visit Rainbow Bridge During This Period of Low Water Levels at Lake Powell?

It depends on how adventurous you are. I’m not a huge risk taker and I have a fear of drowning.  I went in half-blind, not fully prepared for this trip since I agreed to go last minute. But knowing we had an experienced captain taking us, put me more at ease. Looking back now, I am so glad I did. 

Sometimes ignorance frees you up to enjoy the journey.  

At the time we were there and while I write this, boat tours to Rainbow Bridge were and still are, canceled. As of July 30, 2022, the water level was down 17.68 feet from one year prior. (Source: Lake Powell Water Database )  I recommend renting a speed boat but if you are not an experienced boater, hire a charter with a captain. 

Note: There was no gas fills en route to Forbidding Canyon so you need a boat with at least a 50-gallon tank to make the round trip from Wahweap Marina. The boat we took had a 60-gallon tank so we were good.

The National Parks Services website will give you updates. In March 2022 (and at the time I am writing this), due to low water levels of Lake Powell, they warned: “No dock access to the shoreline of Rainbow Bridge. Boats and small vessels beach at your own risk”. 

Well, we did but we went with an experienced captain, prepared with safety precautions. You can check status updates on Rainbow Bridge and the boat launches at the marinas here: https://www.nps.gov/rabr/planyourvisit/index.htm

The Wahweap main boat launch was closed so we had to use the Auxiliary Launch Ramp. 

Keep reading for tips and recommended supplies to prepare for your boat trip and hike to Rainbow Bridge.

How to See Rainbow Bridge by Boat from Wahweap Marina, Arizona.

Ok now that you read this far, you may agree that boating your way to Rainbow Bridge is a good choice. You can approach Forbidding Canyon from the north (Bullfrog Marina) or from the south (Wahweap Marina in Page, Arizona), as we did.

This is how to see Rainbow Bridge by boat from Wahweap Marina. It is a 50-mile journey along the shorelines. We left the Auxiliary State Line Launch Ramp at 7 am (when it was really chilly)  and returned at 5:30 pm (when the sun just finished beating down on us). It took about 3-4 hours to get there, including stops for photo ops and bathroom breaks at Antelope Canyon Marina and a few floating toilets (they were surprisingly clean). We spent about 3 hours hiking in, enjoying the monument, and hustling back to the boat before the afternoon winds kicked up. We returned to Wahweap around 5:30 pm, hungry, and tired, some of us sunburned but exhilarated from the day’s experience.

Prepare for a long day if you want to soak in the sights of Rainbow Bridge and the incredible canyon views from the water.

How Long is the Hike to Rainbow Bridge from the Boat Dock?

At the end of March 2022, we had to dock the boat at the shoreline- 2.5 to 3 miles from the monument, due to decreasing water levels.

Things to Know About Hiking to Rainbow Bridge from the Shoreline- Our Adventure Began Here.

If you want to see Rainbow Bridge by Boat, kick off your sandals and put on your water-resistant shoes when you dock at the shoreline. Make sure you check to see how far your feet or legs will sink into the mud to determine if this journey to the bridge is safe. Captain Scott got us all safely off the boat and onto shore but we had 3 more obstacles to pass: the first one was not even 20 feet from the shoreline. It was a muddy soft path right by the canyon wall. We almost turned around but found a solution.

We Found Wreckage From a WWII Aircraft Which Came in Handy!

We found what Captain Scott figured was wreckage from landing strips from a WWII airplane. They were coated with quagga mussels and looked like they could crumble in your hands. They had some firmness left so we laid them down over the shallow mud river and one by one made a run for it. Only one of the big guys in the group slipped off and sunk a leg to mid-calf in the mud. So overall we did well!

Next, we encountered the narrow soft white sand bank next to the low canyon wall. Some of us had to crawl on hands and knees. Taller individuals and those wearing backpacks will find this more challenging. Slipping off this bank meant you could tumble into the quicksand mud river.

Finally before the solid hike to the Rainbow bridge: crossing the actual river further down, hopping stones, and using our walking sticks to gauge the ground’s softness before stepping. This was the easiest crossing since canyon walls do not confine you.

Tips for Your Hike to Rainbow Bridge from Lake Powell:

The best way to do this is to walk quickly and tighten your core to keep your weight resistance down. Make sure you cross a different path from the person in front of you. The terrain softens more after each person walks over it.  You will need to cross these same points back to your boat so keep this in mind.

Double anchor your boat if the shoreline is really soft and muddy AND especially if the winds pick up. You don’t want to return from the bridge to find your boat sailed away.

After the river crossing, it’s a beautiful, easy-to-moderate hike to Rainbow Bridge.

What to See at Rainbow Bridge and During Your Hike from Shoreline.

There are no toilets or recreational facilities at Rainbow Bridge, so stop at the last floating toilet before Forbidding Canyon. 

If you plan to see Rainbow Bridge by boat, be prepared to dock at the shoreline, approximately 2-3 miles away from the monument. Once you arrived at where boats once docked you will walk on the paved walkway within view of the bridge. Around the last corner you will end up on a trail and the Bridge will be right in front of you. You will see a couple of sun shelters with benches, a few signs, and information about the Navajo land. There are a couple of paths to walk around however there is a sign advising visitors to avoid walking under the bridge out of respect for the Navajos.

Past the bridge, you will see the majestic Navajo Mountain (snow-covered when we were there in March). See the photo above.

It was so quiet and serene. Only five of us, the bridge, and whatever animals and reptiles were nearby. Soak it all in and take tons of photos. Depending on the season, the afternoon sun brings out the bold colors, but you want to leave well before dark since desert animals and critters start surfacing and the winds pick up.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings.

I interviewed Captain Scott a month after this trip for the blog and he revealed to me that he spotted signs of recent activity by rattlesnakes, mountain sheep, and beavers. He didn’t see any imminent danger so he didn’t alarm us during the hike, which now I realize why he kept insisting we stay on the paths.

Can You Take A Rainbow Bridge Boat Tour From Wahweap Marina This Year?

If you want to see Rainbow Bridge by boat, unfortunately, there have been no boat tours operating for several months. But you can charter a private tour with a captain or rent your own boat. Check with Lake Powell Resorts and Marinas for rentals: https://www.lakepowell.com/marinas/powerboat-watercraft-rentals/

How to “Plan and Pack” for Your Boating Trip to Rainbow Bridge.

A well-equipped boat, with all the emergency and maintenance supplies. Bring a waterproof bag to seal your contents inside. Clothing layers including a jacket for the boat. A sun-protective hat – I prefer the Omni-Shade protection from Columbia which has never failed me, including their sun-protective shirts. They are moisture-wicking. You definitely want a hat with a drawstring to keep it on your head on the boat and in gusty winds. Sunglasses – polarized and full coverage for your vision. Sunscreen, I wore this mineral-based sunscreen on delicate skin areas (neck, ears, face). Right now, For body protection, I recommend this SPF50- sun and sport mineral-based sunscreen. Chums for your sunglasses so you don’t lose your glasses to the wind. Water shoes or waterproof hiking shoes. That day I wore a version of these Columbia water shoes which gave me a good grip and dried fast. However, I just started wearing the Escape Thrive Ultra Trail Running Shoes and so far, I love them for stability and grip on rough and dirty terrain. Drinking Water Extra supply of food to leave in the boat, including a cooler with ice.

Use a wrist strap tether for your phone – the winds on the boat ride can whip your phone right out of your hand. 36800 mAh Solar, waterproof backup battery charger – one that also has a flashlight.

Walking or hiking poles . I use the Urban Poling Urban Poles Series 300 (pictured above) for the best ergonomic grip, and stability. These are the aluminum Nordic walking sticks for fitness and sport. The stability “Activator poles” from Urban Poling are most popular with my patients who have any hip issues, back pain, or brain challenges. All Urban Poling products are lightweight and I love the interchangeable tips. We forgot our hiking poles but were lucky to find sticks at the shoreline, likely left behind by previous visitors and we did the same in return for the next ones!

In your backpack: 

First aid kit. Your medications, including inhalers and antihistamines in case of a bite or sting. Kinesiotape – because you may need this in case of an ankle or knee sprain, for example. Don’t take chances- get the extra sticky water resistant because of sweat and water exposure. Scissors are in the first aid kit, linked above. Electrolytes : Bringing a rehydration formula is essential because especially in the hot sun, you will lose minerals through sweat faster than you can replace with just your food and water. Avoid headaches, muscle cramping, and passing out with clean-sourced electrolytes. They should include amino acids for tissue support during activity. My only recommendation currently is the one my patients and I use, ATP Ignite from Xymogen . It is NATURALLY sweetened with stevia (comes in citrus or mixed berry) and also contains antioxidants, glutathione, amino acids, and caffeine combined with pterostilbene for higher bioavailability (similar to resveratrol) and longer caffeine effect. This is great for people trying to reduce coffee intake. You can get this on my Wholescripts store (register HERE) and use the one-time coupon code: NA05-DIAS for 5% off your entire order. Here, you can also shop over 100 quality brand nutritional products.

Snacks: food bars, trail mix, grass-fed beef jerky sticks .

Include some Himalayan Pink or Sea salt crystals to pop in your mouth when your muscles ache and your body gets tired.

Your own garbage bag. Flashlight/ headband flashlight – to stay hands-free when needed. Lifestraw in case you need to draw from a river source.

Emergency Weather Radio with a flashlight, SOS siren, solar-powered emergency radio with a hand crank, and USB ports to charge your gadgets. I bring this on all road trips.

Extra pair of socks. Bear horn – it has a sound level of 115 decibels heard half a mile away. You may want this in case you find yourself at close range with coyotes or grumpy mountain sheep.

About Communications and Signal:

There is no cell service at the Rainbow Bridge. On the lake, the service is very spotty.

Tip: It is best to save battery power and keep your phone on airplane mode until you really need it. 

Things to Know about Rainbow Bridge.

Rainbow Bridge is in Navajo Nation. This is a sacred, religious site. There are signs requesting we refrain from approaching or walking under the bridge. Please pick up after yourself and leave no trace. 

There is a dinosaur footprint near the base of the bridge. Look carefully on the slated path.

The best time to go is as early as possible in the day. Season-wise it will depend on whether or not boat tours are operating again (not likely for a long time due to the water levels).

Parks Passport Holders: If you are traveling from Wahweap Marina, you can get your passport stamped at the Glen Canyon Conservancy office in Page, AZ, and the Glen Canyon Dam Visitors Center if it’s open. You can also check the other marinas.

Many people are wondering how much work is involved in taking your own boat trip to Rainbow Bridge. I won’t lie; it is a full-day event and not for the weary. Although the sun beats down on you, the boat ride is most relaxing when the waters are calm.

If you end up boating and then hiking to Rainbow Bridge let me know in the comments below! Did you enjoy the journey? Feel free to share your own experience whether you hiked through Navajo territory or ventured on the lake to Rainbow Bridge!

Rainbow Bridge National Monument "Custom Tours"

We offer escorted tours by boat to Rainbow Bridge National Monument, the largest and most beautiful natural bridge in the world. Depending on the water level and boat used, this is a 3 to 6 hour boat tour. This custom tour is uaually part of one of our "Custom Day Tours" or part of a longer multi-day Custom Tour. Our escorted Rainbow Bridge tour can be part of a larger group tour on a large size boat or it can be on a smaller size speed boat. When the lake is high, very little or no walking is require to get to the bridge by boat. In very low water years a one way hike of up to 3/4 of a mile is required. But the walk is more than worth the effort. It is a spectacular span of sandstone perfectly carved into an elegant natural bridge.

Located in an isolated canyon at the feet of Navajo Mountain, Rainbow Bridge was known for centuries by the ancient Pueblo people, who considered the bridge to be sacred. Much later, Paiute and Navajo groups named the bridge Nonnezoshe or "rainbow turned to stone." Several Native American families still reside somewhat near the area.

By the 1800s, Rainbow Bridge had been seen by wandering trappers, prospectors, and cowboys.  Its existence was not publicized to the outside world until 1909. Two separate exploration parties - one headed by University of Utah dean Byron Cummings, and another by government surveyor, W.B. Douglass - began searching for the legendary span. Eventually, they combined efforts. Paiute guides Nasja Begay and Jim Mike led the way, along with trader and explorer John Wetherill. Late in the afternoon of August 15, 1909, coming down what is now Bridge Canyon, the party saw Rainbow Bridge for the first time.

The next year, on May 30, 1910, U.S. President William Howard Taft used a presidential proclamation to designate Rainbow Bridge National Monument. Teddy Roosevelt and Zane Grey were among the first visitors to make the trek by foot and horseback from Navajo Mountain. Rainbow Bridge became more accessible with the popularity of river running in Glen Canyon after World War II, although the trip still required several days floating the Colorado River plus a seven-mile hike up-canyon. By the early 1950s, people could travel upstream by jet boat from Lee's Ferry. Glen Canyon Dam was authorized in 1956. By 1963, the gates on the dam closed and rising Lake Powell began to engulf the river and its side canyons. Higher water made motorboat access to Rainbow Bridge much easier, bringing thousands of visitors to the monument each year.

Lake Powell, named after Major John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran who explored the river area in 1869, lies partly in Northern Arizona and mostly in Southern Utah. Its scenery is no less than spectacular, with unadulterated red sandstone cliffs and monuments reflecting with a shimmering golden glow in the deep blue water; spires, ridges, and buttes that once soared high above the Colorado River, now lone islands isolated by the crystal clear water; and beaches of rosy sand tenderly lapped by gentle rippling waves.

Over The Rainbow & Lake Powell

The Southwest’s most intimate air tour. You will get down into Glen Canyon and see Lake Powell with magnificent Rainbow Bridge. Don’t miss this opportunity to see the world’s largest natural bridge carved in stone. Book Online today for the best price!

In 1910, Rainbow Bridge was designated a National Monument by President William Taft. In the years that followed, a few more rugged individuals made the arduous trek to view Rainbow Bridge, including author Zane Grey and President Theodore Roosevelt. As recently as the 1950’s, the trip to Rainbow Bridge still wasn’t easy: back then, it could be made by taking a jet boat up the Colorado River through Glen Canyon, followed by a 3-day hike into Aztec Canyon.Southern Utah, August 14th, 1909.

After a grueling journey on horseback through a sun-scorched labyrinth of cliffs and canyons, a dozen men gazed upon the subject of legend: a sandstone arch in a nearly perfect parabolic shape, stretching almost three hundred feet wide, soaring nearly three hundred feet into the air. It truly deserved the name the nearby Navajo Indians had given it: “Nonnezoshi” – a rainbow turned to stone.

In 1956, the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam began. In 1963, the waters of the Colorado River began to rise, forming what would come to be known as Lake Powell. The arrival of the reservoir would eventually make Rainbow Bridge more easily accessible. In the decades that followed, tour boats ferried hundreds of passengers a day to the monument from Wahweap Lodge and Bullfrog Marina.

When Lake Powell was at its highest point, half-day and full-day trips to Rainbow Bridge were available. As the waters of Lake Powell receded in the late 1990’s, Rainbow Bridge remained accessible by boat, but requiring a full day tour, and a 1.5 mile walk each way in order to see the bridge.

The Rainbow Bridge Scenic Air tour is an expedient and exciting way to see not only Rainbow Bridge, but so much more.  In just 30 minutes time , you’ll get the ultimate eagle’s eye view of Lake Powell, Navajo Mountain, the Vermilion Cliffs and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Join us for an aerial sightseeing experience regarded by many as “better than the Grand Canyon!”

Rainbow Bridge National Monument

Considered sacred in Navajo culture, Rainbow Bridge is a symbol of deities responsible for creating rain, the essence of life in the desert. Before the construction of Glen Canyon Dam formed Lake Powell, Rainbow Bridge National Monument was a remote destination requiring a multi-day hike from Navajo Mountain. Now, Lake Powell water level brings visitors within one-quarter to 2 miles of Rainbow Bridge, yet this impressive Utah natural bridge still feels a world apart. Rainbow Bridge National Monument is the tallest natural bridge in the world. It is roughly the sixth longest. Carved from red Navajo sandstone, the bridge is 290 feet tall and 270 feet across — higher than the United States Capitol Building — and nearly as long as a football or soccer field.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area offers more than 1.2 million acres of unparalleled opportunities for land- and water-based recreation.

Grand Staircase-Escalante

Escalante, UT

The allure of the Grand Staircase region — the bulk of which is contained in the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument — is phenomenal. Sun-drenched Utah backcountry spreads out well beyond the visible horizon from the road, whether you’re traveling along the The All-American Road: Scenic Byway 12, or on Highway 89.

Kanab, Utah is classic American West, surrounded by towering Navajo sandstone cliffs and vistas of sagebrush. Kanab's self-proclaimed title, "Little Hollywood," is fitting for its many abandoned film sets.

Getting There

Rising up at the mouth of Bridge Canyon, in a cove on Lake Powell, you can reach the bridge by personal boats and watercraft, or  boat cruises  offered daily from Halls Crossing or Bullfrog Marinas north of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area or Wahweap Marina near the Arizona border. On your cruise, you'll navigate among miles of Lake Powell's curiously sculpted slickrock shores, high up in Glen Canyon. There is no question as to the erosive power of water. Yet water sometimes carves with whimsy and precision. In this way, Rainbow Bridge is more than a symbol of life in the desert — it is the desert come alive.

At full pool, nearly 50 feet of water fill in below Rainbow Bridge, giving dictionary meaning to the monument, which may be erroneously referred to as Rainbow Arch. (Arches have no active water flow while bridges span a watercourse.) Check current  Lake Powell water levels  here.

With a permit from the Navajo Nation, you can also follow a historic trail on foot or by horseback. Trails exceed 13 miles in length and require good preparation and wayfinding skills (i.e., compass, map, GPS, overnight gear and lots of water).

Due to its remote location on Lake Powell, visiting Rainbow Bridge requires more planning than most Utah national monuments. Before the reservoir, it took a multiday hike (still on option with a permit from the Navajo Nation.). Now, visitors can book a tour or rent a motorized watercraft to the trailhead. There is primitive  camping  and developed campgrounds in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, but not within the boundaries of Rainbow Bridge.

Get  directions  now and start planning your trip to this magnificent Utah natural bridge.
