The Natural Bridge in Virginia's Natural Bridge State Park is a stunning geological formation located along the Cedar Creek Trail. Standing 215 feet high and 90 feet wide, this natural limestone arch was carved by Cedar Creek over millions of years. The bridge has a rich history; once considered sacred by the Monacan people and later surveyed by a young George Washington, it is a National Historic Landmark, drawing visitors to marvel at it and explore the surrounding trails. The Cedar Creek Trail beneath the bridge offers a scenic 1.6-mile walk, passing by the bridge, a waterfall, and the Monacan Indian Living History Exhibit, making it a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.

The Mills Gap Overlook is a short detour off of the Appalachian Trail, but it is definitely worth getting off the trail and stopping to enjoy the view. The viewpoint is also right where the Blue Ridge Parkway intersects with the trail, so there is a good chance you will see others enjoying this spot.

The last plaque has the names of World War I victims.

This stretch basically spans from the Sharp Top Overlook to the Great Valley Overlook. There are pull-offs left and right along the roadway, and there are also some sections where you get great views from the shoulder of the road.
