Tonto Natural Bridge State Park

Tonto Natural Bridge is a hidden gem in Arizona.  It is a state park and worthwhile spending a few hours exploring.  We only had one hour, so we hiked the steep 1/2 mile into the canyon to get under the bridge.  It resembles an outdoor cave with mineral deposits and petrified moss/lichen formations.  A spring from above rained on our heads.  This place is ancient!  Next time you are driving by this place between Camp Verde and Payson, stop in for a quick visit and support our State Parks.
