Deputy Regional Director James B. Thompson commemorates the seventy-five year history of Natural Bridges National Monument. In 1908, Natural Bridges became the first national park area in Utah. Theodore Roosevelt was in the White House, “at that time the youngest man ever to occupy the presidency.” At that time, possibly only about a hundred people had seen Natural Bridges. In 1982, 8.5 million out-of-state visitors came to Utah. Thompson hopes sites like Natural Bridges will always be a source of “wonder and inspiration” for visitors.
