A Bridge Shaped by the River
Yoho National Park
In Yoho National Park, the Kicking Horse River passes through an opening in the rock. People did not build this bridge. Water slowly changed the stone.
Did you know?
The Natural Bridge is near the village of Field.
Look together
How does this bridge differ from Alexandra Bridge?
An idea to try
Imagine the water’s route beneath the rock and follow it with your finger.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
River erosion created an opening through a rocky ledge. The formation is low and solid. This drawing makes the water’s route clearer without turning the site into a towering arch. Visitors observe from the designated facilities.
