On this date, April 16, in 1908, the Natural Bridges National Monument was created and protected by the National Park Service. Because of its remote, off-the-beathen-path location in southeastern Utah, about 50 miles from the Four Corners, the Natural Bridges are one the least visited national monuments. There are 158 National Monuments across the USA. CLICK HERE to see the list and go visit one this spring or summer. You won't regret the trip ;)
