Mamie Creek Natural Bridge Trail

This trail reaches Mamie Creek Natural Bridge by following the Boulder Mail Trail out from Escalante or Boulder, then dropping into Mamie Creek and following the water downstream about 0.8 miles to the bridge — a stretch with multiple pools to wade through or skirt around. Beautiful pools sit above and below the bridge, but if the creek is running, stay out from under it: the far side of the lower pool drops off in high, dangerous falls.

What to know

• Full round trip via the Boulder Mail Trail runs about 14.7 miles with significant elevation gain — a hard, full-day undertaking
• Expect wet feet; this is a creek-following route, not a dry-tread trail
• Stop at a visitor center in Escalante or Boulder first for current conditions and monument regulations
