This is not worth a planning for or making a special trip. If you're on that road, okay it is a ten minute stop. Not particularly photographic unless you get off the approved trail (like most do as the worn area indicates), but you would not want to do that with young children. There are so many water features in Alberta and BC, this doesn't rate a mention. The most interesting aspect of the stop was a statue/sculpture in the parking lot about the internship of eastern Europeans during the World Wars. That may extend the stop by 5-10 minutes. And there are bathrooms if all the driving requires a pit stop.

The Natural Bridge is a nice little sight that can easily be experienced in 10 minutes. Snap 4-5 great photos of the rushing water being squeezed through a natural hole in the limestone rocks—and then you’re ready to move on.

A good recommendation would be to prioritize the beautiful Emerald Lake as the main sight in the area, and then swing by the Natural Bridge on your way to or from the emerald-green lake. The distance between the two attractions is 10 km/10 minutes by car.

There is a continuous flow of self-centered tourists who climb over the small ridge to get onto the actual natural bridge. If you are waiting for someone to fall because of stupidity, that may be fine. But how many strangers holding their cellphones do you want to see when taking pictures of a natural wonder? I also don’t see the bridge lasting as long over time with more tourists doing this dumb thing all day long. Parks Canada must be really tight with their budget that they can’t regulate this for preservation and for safety.

Natural Bridge is a quick and easy stop offering a unique rock formation over a short waterfall. The site is simply fine compared to the rest of the natural wonders in the area. It was swamped with viewpoint tourists and tour busses when we stopped, making it less appealing of a visit. I would stop here only if you have time. Otherwise, don't feel bad if you miss this average natural site.

Natural Bridge is located at the side of the Emerald Lake road. A decent size car park is provided for what will be a brief visit of an impressive natural rock formation with rushing water from the Kicking Horse river.

It's worth taking the time walking around the areas you can and listening to the water rush through.

There are 3 different viewpoints only located about 100 feet from the parking lot. This used to be a waterfall, but the river has cut a new path underneath the upper rocks which leaves a nearly solid rock “bridge”. No one is allowed to cross the river on natural bridge. Instead, a man made bridge nearby gives excellent views of this sight.

We probably would not have seen this site if it weren't for being part of our all day tour with Pursuit. Just up the road on Hwy 1 past the Spiral Tunnels, it is a natural wonder. Shaped over centuries of time, and not a bridge that one would cross, it's preserved in time in Yoho National Park.

Located along the Kicking Horse River, one can take in this natural wonder along with the surrounding area, including the Lower Falls.

Well worth a stop before or after a drive to emerald lake. Clear signage going towards emerald lake but easy to miss on the way back.
It’s right off the parking lot.
Can view the bridge from different levels of viewing platforms.
I don’t think it’s encouraged to go on the bridge seeing that you have to navigate unnaturally around the one of viewing platforms to get on the bridge. Lol!

Doesn’t look safe but you can take the risk

Themis natural bridge that nature has given us is a perfect place for great photos. U can climb around and on top of it but BE CAREFUL!! The rocks are slippery and if u fall in you could be seriously hurt if not killed. It’s really a beautiful site to see and worth the quick trip off the highway.

We went to Natural Bridge on the way to Emerald Lake. It is nice picture taking place. If you want to spend more time, you can hike and look around more. But we just spend about 10-20 minutes and still enjoyed the scenery.
