   Summary Author:  Stan Wagon

   Red Bar Bridge is a remarkable landform found at the head of a small
   wash near the bottom of the  Moki Dugway, a famously steep road near
    Mexican Hat, Utah. This waterfall bridge forms a natural arch
   caused by the tremendous flow of water and has dimensions of
   approximately 85 feet (26 m) in length with an 8.5-foot (2.6 m) gap.
   The arch is composed of  sandstone from the  Halgaito Sandstone
   Formation, which underlies the massive  Cedar Mesa Sandstone
   Formation. These formations are part of the  Cutler Geologic Group
   that arose during the  Permian period.

   Photo details: Sony A6500 camera; 10 mm lens; f/13; 1/800 second
   exposure; ISO 400 (first shot), 320 second shot.
