John Braves the Dessert for a Close Look at Rainbow Bridge.

JOHN HIKES TO RAINBOW BRIDGE

Johns "little" 28 Mile hike turned out to be a 35 Mile hike with brutal winds and sand coming at him in all directions. The wind was so bad his tent could not save him from the sand.  A tent pole was even bent due to the force of the wind.

But after braving all of the elements the hike was well worth it to see the worlds larges natural bridge.

Water was not easy to come by. Any water was used by filtering it through a portable water filter. John was lucky that his friend Sam came along.  John's filter was broken and had to use Sam's to filter his drinking water.

This is a view of the bridge that is enjoyed by very few people. This would be considered the back side of Rainbow Bridge. Below is a shot of the back side of Navajo Mountain known by the Navajos to be one of the Four Sacred Mountains.
