All that's left of a huge cavern is a breathtakingly tall stone bridge strong enough for the highway on top. A short hike takes you under the bridge and on to a reconstruction of an Indian village. See if you can find George Washington's initials. There is a cafe overlooking the bridge. Caverns and other attractions nearby.
