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 ;)

... is a riddle for you ...
In many stories or movies, I’m called clever or sly
But, I’m just like any other cool guy
My coat is red, my cousin’s is gray
And my long poofy tail is in need of some hairspray!
Who am I?
