The title places us above the Natural Bridge itself, a limestone arch in Rockbridge County, Virginia, that Cedar Creek carved over a very long time. Thomas Jefferson owned the land and described the bridge's height and beauty in his *Notes on the State of Virginia*, which helped make it famous well beyond the region. Visitors have been coming to see it since the late 1700s, and the arch still rises more than 200 feet above the creek, a scale that a view from its top makes easy to appreciate.
