Natural Bridge is found in the town of the same name just North of Jasper, Alabama. It is a short 1.0 mile hike to one of Alabama’s neatest geographical features. In fact, the hike is optional. The bridge itself is only about 100 yards from the ticketing area.
The natural bridge was made by a plume of iron ore stretching over sandstone beneath the ocean that once covered Alabama. When the ocean receded, the sandstone washed away leaving the iron ore bridge.
The hike passes the natural bridge and continues on a short loop through an equally impressive canyon. The high, jagged rocks are also worth the visit.
I’ve never really explored this part of Alabama. The entire area felt more like a rain forest than is typical of Alabama. Don’t forget the bug repellent as the shady, moist conditions were perfect for mosquitoes.
For dinner, get off the main roads and go into downtown Jasper. The old part of town was charming and filled with nice places to eat. We ate at Warehouse 3 Nineteen. Everyone enjoyed the meal as well as the warehouse charm. You don’t want to miss it.
