The limestone arch that spans Cedar Creek rises roughly 215 feet above the water, a height that has impressed visitors for centuries. Thomas Jefferson, who once owned the land around it, wrote about the bridge in his *Notes on the State of Virginia* and counted it among the region's wonders. Harry Fenn's engraved view, made in the 1870s, shows the site as American tourism was beginning to bring travelers to the rock and its surroundings.
