Adventure, romance and history can always be found within the beautiful background of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley. Valentine’s Day or President’s Day weekends are great times to get away and explore the region.
On Valentine's Day and President's Day weekend, the Natural Bridge Hotel has getaway packages that include dinner and ballroom dancing lessons. Learn to tango or waltz like a president, and explore sites and trails traveled by Jefferson,Washington and Civil War soldiers.
Kids, couples and families can all find something to suit their tastes at Natural Bridge. Explore the deepest caverns on the east coast, walk down nature trails and flutter with the butterflies at Virginia’s largest indoor butterfly garden at the brand new Butterflies at the Bridge exhibit.
The must-see and star of the show is, of course, the bridge itself. Once owned by Thomas Jefferson, Natural Bridge is shaped from 20 stories of solid limestone rock. George Washington surveyed the bridge, and carved his initials somewhere in its surface.
