大烟山田纳西弗吉尼亚之旅（九）弗吉尼亚天然桥 Natural Bridge
离开田纳西州北上，天然桥（Natural Bridge)位于美国弗吉尼亚州的石桥县，距离前文提到的卢瑞溶洞（Luray Caverns)不远。 Natural Bridge是一座美丽的天然生成拱形桥，高215英尺，长90英尺，宽50到150英尺不等，单孔无墩，浑然一体，已被列为美国国家和佛吉尼亚州的历史地标， 也是世界自然奇观之一。
天然桥的形成是由于石灰岩地层在流水的长年侵蚀，常常会在地下形成巨大的溶洞和地下河，这一天然桥就是溶洞坍塌后，洞顶的遗留部分。这座天然的纪念物是属于托马斯.杰弗森的（Thomas Jefferson），岩面上还刻有乔治.华盛顿(George Washington)名字首字母的缩写。景区内除了天然桥，溪流，小瀑布及沿溪流的步行小道等自然景观，还有一个印第安村落，是按照对三百年前Monacan 部落沿Cedar Creeck建立的定居点的考古记录复原重建的。在George Washington来到这里之前，曾有印第安人居住于此。天然桥就坐落在他们的领地之内，被他们称之为“神桥”，视之为圣地。村落虽已落没，但仍可想象当时印第安人日出而作、日落而息的情景。
