Natural Bridge: Virginia, USA
Zack & I wanted to stop off at this historic, natural landmark on one of our drives from Northern VA back to Nashville. It was a little detour but gave us time to stretch and walk around a bit and it was so beautiful. Perfect pit stop!
Natural Bridge is a giant gorge that occurred naturally. The bridge is 215 feet tall and surrounded by forests and meadows and there is a waterfall that is 30 feet tall as well about a 15 min hike from the bridge. There are also caverns and hiking trails if you’re wanting to explore more!

Whenever I see water that is this color I think of Pepsi! My grandpa was obsessed with Pepsi and I always see creeks that look this color and I think of him. Random but peaceful!
Lace Falls
If you continue walking through the natural bridge you will get to a path that leads to these falls. It is a pleasant little walk and the perfect length for our pit stop we were talking!
Enjoy this vertical panorama where you can see the underside of the bridge!
