The Natural Bridge and the Colosseum Trail at Ha Ha Tonka State Park

Trail head entrance back to the Natural Bridge and the Colosseum.

The Natural Bridge is 70 feet wide, 60 feet across and over 100 feet high.

Looking out toward the Colosseum from under the "Bridge".

Along the trail looking back at the Bridge.

Close up of the Bridge.

The Colosseum is a large sink hole over 500 feet long and 300 feet wide. If I understand correctly, the bridge was formed when a cave collapsed. The bridge is what remains of what was once the roof of the cave.

The bridge is listed with the Natural Arch and Bridge Society at:
