At the top the bridge is thicker than a three-storbuilding (42 feet) and it is wide enough (33 feet to accommodate the averin color, y age highway. In 1909. John Wetherill, Dean Byron Cummings and W. B. Douglas were the first white men to view Rainbow Bridge. The greatest natural wonder is an example of the effect of stream erosion.
