Natural Bridge

There are several trails at Natural Bridge. We took a 1.6-mile trail that leads up to the bridge. This is the shortest trail you can take to get to Natural Bridge. We saw several people including children while traveling on the trail. As you start getting closer, you have to enter a place known as “Fat Man’s Misery.” It is called this because it is a very narrow tunnel with stairs you climb up to reach your final destination of the breathtaking view at the top of the arch where you can see for miles. But you don’t want to get too close to the edge. On the way down it is just as steep as the way up. Watch your step so you don’t trip (I did that a few times). If you don’t want to take the very challenging hike there is a skylift but it is closed during the winter months so we were unable to take it during our trip. But the hike is 100% worth it in the end.
