Sightseeing
Natural Bridge Sky Lift Inc
2135 Natural Bridge RdAn easy way to the top of Natural Bridge!
Great hiking trails! Short trails that we love - Angels Windows, Whistling Arch, Skybridge, Princess Arch, Chimney Top. A personal favorite is the Rock Bridge Trail which is the only arch in the gorge over water & has a 3 tier waterfall 1.5 mile loop. Up for a long trek? Auxier Trail gives you the best views from the top! There are several trails off this loop which would bring your adventure to around 7 miles.
Also check out Nada Tunnel, the suspension bridge & jump rock! To get to these trails you will take exit 33 or 40. There is a large map on the wall of our guest house / suite & we will be happy to provide paper maps at your request.
