Tonto Natural Bridge is a natural arch in Arizona, United States, that is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. The area surrounding the bridge has been made into a state park called Tonto Natural Bridge State Park , which is located off State Route 87 , just 10 miles (16 km) north of Payson .
Thousands of years ago, volcanic lava and seawater formed a travertine dam in a canyon north of present-day Payson. As the dam eroded and water seeped through, Tonto Natural Bridge was formed. At 150 feet wide, this natural wonder arches over Pine Creek and a narrow canyon brimming with native plants and wildlife.
Hike to the largest natural travertine bridge in the world, a 183-foot-high arch over a 400-foot-long tunnel. This challenging loop trail takes you through scenic Pine Creek Canyon and requires some climbing and scrambling.
