Sight seeing, hiking
Distance is 46 miles W of Blanding, 1 hour 10 minute drive. There are overlooks to the three major bridges, but it is very spectacular to hike down to each one. We have done it with a baby carrier, though a couple trails may be less suitable for young walking kids. To hike down to each one, it would take 2-3 hours total. There is also a much longer continuous hike to all three if you prefer.

There is a lot to explore, but do not expect the same level of infrastructure as other national parks. Be aware that this will require a higher level of preparation, fitness, and respect on your part. Please research and prepare before visiting Bears Ears. You may consider hiring a guide.
