    Wwo very cool thanks for sharing I had never seen or heard of this before. Your comment reminds me of Grand Sherman a Giant Sequoia which had a limb thicker than a man is tall fall while visitors watched just a few years ago. Luckily no one got hurt.

    A landmark I still want to see. My parents were there way back when and made a 2 ft x 3 ft print of their pic. Beautiful!

    natures beauty is timeless, isn't it? thanks so much for sharing! I hope one day to see it myself. I have seen WI Dells many times(a WI resident) and the rock formations are so inspiring and wondrous to see what water can do to so solid a rock!~Faythe @GMT

    WOW .
    Thanks for the memory rush.
    Seems like we were on the
    Blue Ridge Parkway several
    times a year when I was a kid.
    Of course then I didn't fully
    appreciate the beauty in nature.

    That one looks pretty sturdy. We have some natural bridges here on the Oregon coast but it is kind of scary walking over them. Happy WW!

    What a beautiful spot. The natural bridges way out west are all in the desert, which is okay if you like the desert.

    I have seen pictures of Natural Bridge before, but did not quite get the scale. Seeing the people definitely puts it in perspective.

    I too would question why I wasn't given a helmet hehee... I also love seeing historical nature sites and then thinking about all the past people that have also seen it.

    There is nothing more beautiful than the Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall. And that bridge is really cool...it looks like it might crumble and fall at any minute!

    It looks like a stunning place to visit!! Have you ever been to the natural bridge in Kentucky? My family went there two years ago on our annual summer trip. We all hiked up to the bridge, from my 3-year old sister and up. Breathtaking view!

    Beautiful pictures and scene. And such an interesting history, too. That's the first time I have seen an image of the "George Washington Graffiti" :)

    Oh, I would give anything to be sitting on top of that hill/mountain with a blanket, my Kindle, an array of cheeses and crackers, and a bottle of wine.

    Beautiful capture! :-)
