Tonto Natural Bridge. Payson. AZ


Tonto Natural Bridge, which is located near Payson, Arizona, is the world's largest natural travertine bridge. The bridge is 183 feet high and the tunnel is 400 feet long. However, due to the budget crisis in the state of Arizona, many state parks have been scheduled to partially or completely close. Fortunately, the Town of Payson agreed to assist financially in keeping that park open until September 27, 2010. I had visited Tonto Natural Bridge a few years ago. Recently I went there again, because after September 27, 2010, the future of the park remains uncertain.
 


From the non-natural bridge to Natural bridge via Gowan Trail.

 


The view from Gowan Trail: I left the people in the photo (far right) so that you can see the scale.

Waterfall inside the tunnel.: My whole body was wet when I reached there.

 


 
I took the picture in a spilt second and then put my camera away.
