X 2... Natural Bridge is now a Virginia State Park; wife & I have been there, many times. Even stayed at the NB Hotel there, learning of many facts/legends; that "narrow road" at the top of "the ARCH" is Rt. 11, once known as the Warriors Path; George Washington as surveyor carved his "GW" mid-way up the east side of the arch, indicating buried treasure near-by in the bushes next to "the Arch"; Natural Bridge Caverns (on-grounds) is where the Beale Treasure Associates (most from Upper Goose Creek Valley in Bedford County, Va.) with TJB thought of burying the Beale Treasure in it... BUT! LOCAL farmers used the NBC as "storage" for garden produce; Thomas Jefferson once OWNED the Natural Bridge; Monacan "Indians" Nation has a replica of their village in the State Park; Much MORE!

Been there and stayed at the inn. Worth seeing. Really cool!
 

Spring of 2019, visit to NB Caverns is on our list of Day Trips; then to Pink Cadillac Restaurant. Songs by ELVIS there, as we eat!
