NABSQNO 12S-587920-4164080 (fallen). The Fallen Monarch was a meander natural bridge eroded through Cedar Mesa Sandstone by White Canyon Creek. What remains is located a short distance upstream from Sipapu Natural Bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument, San Juan County, Utah. The link below to a Google Map shows the relationship of Fallen Monarch to Sipapu Natural Bridge. Although it is not possible to know exactly what the size of this giant was before it fell, a careful study of the remnants indicates it had a span somewhere between 330 and 360 feet. This is much longer than any natural arch currently documented.
