This extraordinary geological formation was called “one of the most sublime sights of nature” by Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, lead author of the Declaration of Independence and founding the University of Virginia, which was declared Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO.

Natural Bridge, Natural Bridge, ” that rises above Cedar Creek was designated a Natural Monument in 1998, is a formation of limestone over 100 million years old. Geologists believe that once there was a cave that collapsed giving rise to the natural bridge, but legend attributes its origin to the magical appearance Monaca tribe could escape from their enemies.

While he was in private hands, his interest was growing up and now a park where you can enjoy also other natural and cultural attractions. It is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States and with the Niagara Falls, one of the most visited places by tourists from the European eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Today is considered National Historic Landmark and Virginia.

If I had to write a story for children, choose to tell a story that will take place at the beautiful green areas and forests of the National Monument Effigy mounds, with the murmur of the river is left to perceive in the distance.

Because despite the fact that these mounds are testimony to the pain of the old natives of these lands, forests, trails, green tinged with purple in the vegetation, away from all my heart footprint of awkward sentences and sadness.

caverna-russell1

The Indians of Northern America built these effigies as a posthumous tribute, as a symbol of the presence of the departed on the other side of the road, as visible evidence that the loved one will endure in time through memory.

In the United States retained 200 of these mounds, and 31 of them are representations of bears and birds.

Iowa has other attractions, but it seems to me that is the most inspiring, which is the deepest, which is more important about human existence. In addition, signage, maintenance of the trails, the possibility of hiring a guide, make Effigy mounds national monument a highly recommended place to vacation. The beauty, entertainment and security are guaranteed by the guards of the place.

It is located just northeast of Iowa, in the upper Mississippi River, near the border with Wisconsin.

The fastest way to access the Effigy mounds national monument, is to fly to La Crosse Municipal Airport, 65 miles south. But at the same distance north is the Dubuque Regional Airport.

caverna-russell

We found stone and bone tools, pottery and jewelry, which tells of human presence for at least 10,000 years BC but also some fossils of corals and other prehistoric beings show us that, about three hundred fifty million years ago, this whole region was under the sea.

Spending the day at the Russell Cave can be a fascinating experience and a journey into the life and culture of our more remote ancestors. A ranger will guide us through this impressive natural monument, and we may know the museum at the Visitors Center, with abundant information about the Russell Cave. In addition to attending the screening of a video on prehistoric peoples, and if we want to know more, can buy books about American culture and the lifestyle of the inhabitants of the cavern.

For those who enjoy walking, there is a steep well marked trail that climbs up the mountain Montague, leads to an observatory on the Route of the Birds of North and loops down to around the mountain, seeking to take into account the recommendations on species dangerous.

We recommend comfortable clothing and shoes, a coat if it cools, insect repellent and water. The park has a picnic area but there is only a drinks machine, so we ask that if you plan to spend all day, we bring our own food.

The park is accessible to people with different abilities and they have wheelchairs available, and if you come with your pet, you can take to the trails with strap, but do not allow animals inside the Visitors Center.

If you’re a fan of nature and like to help, you can join the Volunteers in the Cave, a group of people working with the preservation of the park and provides support to visitors for interpretation, and maintenance.

Russell Cave Natural Monument is five miles on Highway 72, the small town of Bridgeport, Alabama.
