Natural Bridge State Park, you actually drive over this on highway 11!

Seriously one of the best things I have ever seen, knowing that a road goes over this.
Just beautiful.

It's a cool place but not free to see which really grinds my gears. The highway over the top even has walls on both sides so you can't see anything from up there
The caverns nearby are also cool but again, not free

They have a trail that goes underneath and deep into the valley upstream. Here they have actors and actresses who do living Native American presentations. They have huts and living quarters like the local natives would’ve utilized. It is pretty remarkable and worth the visit!

Is the Native American part up and running again? It wasn’t when I visited last summer but was one of my favorite parts as a kid

I remember going here as a kid! I thought I read that it had fallen recently...

I found Larry in some videos years back when he was playing with Tyler Childers! Remarkable picker

He and Jenny are also remarkably kind folks. Just absolute treasures, the pair of them.

Since there are three documented "Natural Bridge" State Parks, the one with US Route 11 appears to be in Virginia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Bridge_(Virginia)#Natural_Bridge_State_Park
