Owachomo is the smallest and thinnest of the three natural bridges in Natural Bridges National Monument and is commonly thought to be the oldest. Regardless of its relative age, Owachomo Bridge is an awe-inspiring feat of erosion.
Owachomo means "rock mound" in Hopi and is named after the rock formation on top of the east end of the bridge. Before William Douglas gave it this name in 1908, it was called "Edwin" or "Little" Bridge. Prior to that, it was referred to as "Congressman" by miner and explorer Cass Hite.
