Tonto Natural Bridge State Park

The largest natural travertine bridge in the world.

Highway 87, 10 miles north of Payson

At Aunt Belva's suggestion we took the scenic route (87 -> 260) to Sedona when we left Florence. This took us past this amazing State Park. We stopped to enjoy the sights and to stretch. It was something like a 14% grade down to the park from the highway.
