Natural Bridge Caverns — The Underground Companion

Directly beneath the Natural Bridge arch — a separate cave system discovered in 1977 with 34 rooms spanning multiple geological eras. The formations are younger and more delicate than Luray’s, with an emphasis on flowstone and drapery. The guided tour covers about a third of a mile underground. Combine it with the Natural Bridge state park above for a full day of geology.
