Description
Hickman Natural Bridge is a 133' long and 125' tall rock span carved from the Kayenta Formation. It's named for Joseph Hickman, a local school administrator and Utah legislator who was an early advocate of the Capitol Reef area.
Natural bridges are a type of natural arch distinguished by having had a current of water (such as a stream) play a significant role in its formation, and may now have or once had running water through the opening. Other observable (anthropomorphic) traits include a flat top over the opening that could be used as a bridge (vs a fully rounded top such as Delicate Arch).
Hickman Natural Bridge is located .95 miles from the Hickman Bridge Trailhead on Highway 24, 1.8 miles east of the Capitol Reef Visitor Center. The trail follows the Fremont River before rising away across varied terrain to a short loop that passes under the arch.
