Tonto Natural Bridge is the largest travertine bridge in the United States. It is located north of Payson off Highway 87.
The Gowan Trail descends 200 feet to a foot bridge downstream of the bridge.
The bridge is 400 feet long, 150 feet wide, and 180 feet tall. Panorama size: 891 megapixels (32744 x 27240 pixels) Input images: 304 (16 columns by 19 rows) Field of view: 164.8 degrees wide by 137.1 degrees high (top=84.3, bottom=-52.8) You can buy prints up to four feet by four feet or greeting cards of this photograph. The travertine was deposited during the last few million years. For a while, it formed a dam the blocked the canyon. Eventually, Pine Creek eroded through the dam forming the bridge. Travertine deposits along the canyon suggest that the bridge was once one thousand feet long. A small waterfall spills over the entrance to the bridge. Moss covers the rocks underneath the waterfall. Pine Creek flows through rocky pools downstream from the bridge. A waterfall drops into Pine Creek Canyon upstream of the bridge. Ferns and moss cover the rocks under the waterfall.
