What type of rock makes up the canyon and bridge?

0

Only two types of sedimentary rock exist in the monument, Navajo Sandstone and Kayenta Sandstone. The Navajo comprises the curved, parabolic portion of the bridge, while the Kayenta is the foundation for the bridge. The Navajo is a geologic remnant of an ancient sand dune system that resembled the Sahara desert.
