OfTeN MissEd by IntErNaTioNaL ToUrIsTs Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park is a unique and fascinating natural formation. The bridge is formed by the erosion of the limestone rock by the rushing waters of the Kicking Horse River behind what was once a more standard waterfall. Over time, the constant flow of water over thousands of years wore away at the rock, creating a hole in the limestone behind the falls.

The result is a beautiful and unique natural structure that is truly one of a kind, and is a must-see when visiting Yoho National Park.
