Do you ever feel like just getting out of the house, hopping in the car and going for a drive? There’s plenty of space to explore inside the Caverns at Natural Bridge, and some pretty fantastic sights.

As you leave the dome room, you’ll see other other spectacular sights like Mirror Lake and the Well Room. Click here to visit the website, or go to Natural Bridge Cavern’s Facebook page.
