 Rainbow Bridge NM: Stephen Jett and the The Great Race
Rainbow Natural Bridge, Utah, is the acknowledged premier example of its kind, being a feature not only of extreme beauty but also of great size, its smoothly curved 290-foot-high opening spanning a space 275 feet across (Vreeland 1976:56; Anonymous 1979; for a general discuss of the feature, see Jett 1980).
Despite, or because of, its isolation in the rugged slickrock and canyon country between Navajo Mountain and Glen Canyon, the bridge has been the focus of more than one dispute during the decades since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1909.
The story of the Navajo discovery and subsequent veneration of Rainbow Bridge was salvaged from obscurity by Karl Luckert (1977), in connection with the recording of Navajo religious beliefs about the Navajo Mountain area of the Utah-Arizona borderlands.
