Natural Bridge of Alabama |
|

|
|
|
| |
|
|
An all natural setting, the Natural Bridge of Alabama is the largest bridge East of the rockies. |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
Formed millions of years ago by an underwater river, the bridge spans 148 feet in length and 60 feet high. The bridge itself consists of a mixture of sandstone and iron ore. It is said to be the longest natural bridge east of the rockies. The park itself opened in 1954 to the public. It has long been known that the Creek Indians lived in this area and probably used the bridge itself for shelter. Along side of the bridge is an Indian stone head. It is not known however, how he got there. Perhaps an Indian chief or some type of symbolism for the Indians. |
