8. Natural Bridge in Virginia

Natural Bridge. Stay VA.

Natural Bridge State Park is located in Rockbridge County, Virginia, and is believed to be the eighth wonder of the world because of its extraordinary natural growth. This bridge has a 215-foot-high natural arch that spans about 90 feet. The bridge is not only designated a Virginia Historic Landmark, but also a National Historic Landmark.

No one directly knows how the bridge formed, but many people believe it started over 470 million years ago. Not only is the bridge sacred to the Native American Monocan tribe, but many people believe George Washington carved his initials into the formation in 1750.
