Tonto Natural Bridge State Park

1 of 3

Tonto Natural Bridge State Park is located near Payson in central Arizona. It is thought to be the world's biggest natural travertine bridge.

The bridge is 150 feet wide and rises more than 180 feet over the glistening Pine Creek. The inspirational environment produces dramatic contrasts to the world around it, surrounded by pines, gushing springs, and grottoes wrapped by ferns. Climbing over the bridge is the most popular activity in the park, but there are four additional hiking paths to discover the natural wonder that is Pine Canyon.

The park provides habitat for animals, insects, and birds, as well as interpretive exhibits such as items from the Tonto Natural Bridge's history and information on travertine, prehistoric residents, and the historic Goodfellow Lodge.
