Natural Bridge Virginia


Our visit to Natural Bridge Va. on our Spring Break camping trip… Natural Bridge is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world, and we live just 40 miles from this beautiful bridge. Facts: One Of The 7 Natural Wonders Of The World Owned By Thomas Jefferson Initialed By George Washington 215 Feet Tall 90 Feet Wide www.naturalbridgeva.com Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County, Virginia is a geological formation in which Cedar Creek (a small tributary of the James River) has carved out a gorge in the mountainous limestone terrain, forming an arch 215 ft (66 m) high with a span of 90 ft (27 m). It consists of horizontal limestone strata, and is the remains of the roof of a cave or tunnel through which the creek once flowed. It is crossed by a public road, US Highway 11. There are fences on either side of the highway, blocking the view from the top of the bridge. Natural Bridge has been designated a Virginia Historical Landmark and a National Historical Landmark. Natural Bridge is marketed as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, but this refers to a mention on an old list of seven natural wonders of the modern world.
