Rainbow Bridge National Monument
Things To Know Before You Come

Access to Rainbow Bridge National Monument is only via boat or by backpacking from Navajo Mountain. Permits are required from the Navajo Nation for backpack trips.

At current lake levels, the hike from the Rainbow Bridge dock to the bridge is approximately 1.25 miles (1.8km).

There is no lodging, food, or other services at Rainbow Bridge. There is boat gas and limited food services at Dangling Rope Marina, approximately 10 miles south of Rainbow Bridge.

 

Rainbow Bridge Marina  

Did You Know?
Rainbow Bridge used to have its own marina - with gas and convenience services at a dock just around the corner from the bridge itself. Eventually it was decided the channel was too narrow, and the marina was moved to Dangling Rope Canyon, about 12 miles away.
