You’ve given out a very useful piece of data…

Great for prospective trekkers!

Cheers!

I want to thank you heartily for giving out so useful data you need to learn before taking the trail..

Thanks all

The biggest hurdles are the talus slopes and bayonet yucca that can pierce pants!
There are decent camping sites in Cliff canyon.

On the trail you’ll come across typical flora like cactii and fauna like rodents, lizards and raven..

At the end of the trail the huge span of the Magnificient Rainbow bridge stands tall above the Lake Powell..

Its upper part is made of sandstone while the lower part is made of harder Kayenta sandstone..

You’ll also need to pack in a plenty of purified water and purification tablets..

You may find water springs along the trail but that is entirely seasonal..

The lake Powell provides fresh water but it is not advisable to skimp on purification tablets before you drink the water here..

Thanks so much for that information you need to be aware of if you are trekking in the Navajo country!

Being a globetrotter, I’m amazed at the perspective of trekking this trail, but I see it is indeed not easy and would require equally good company and people who’ve already been there before..

Thanks again!

I just inquired about the hiking requirements in the Navajo mountains and found that to hike to Rainbow Bridge, you’ll require a backcountry permit from the Navajo Nation..

There is an old outhouse on the trail called Cliff Springs,which offers facilities like toilets, but that’s the least you’ll find here..

If you are camping in the close vicinity of the Lake Powell you have to be really careful to follow the required norms, which include carrying your wastes out of the 1/4 mile radius surrounding the lake..

With the rugged fringe of Navajo Mountain ,trekking there is definitely a very arduous task even for the most experienced trekkers..

Today a very very few people will prefer to take the trail to reach the Rainbow bridge unlike the early 1900′s..

People mostly take a boat on Lake Powell to reach the bridge..

Thanks for the post

If you care enough to see some of Utah’s most spectacular canyon country, you’ll have to give a bit of strain to your legs!

This hike can be done overnight, but only by experienced hikers.

As the terrain is uneven, a beginner will need atleast three or four days to reach the Rainbow Bridge..

Cool post!

Very few, however, are aware of the fact that the existence of the bridge was known to the Navajo tribes that surround the area; and they considered the bridge sacred.

getting to that place is somewhat more interesting, because u hav to cross a lake named Powell.,

and lastly, ull be surprised to know that this rainbow bridge is a naturally constructed one..

It is the biggest and most magnificient ‘naturally’ formed bridge in the world!
