Tonto Natural Bridge State Park

Tim and I took a day trip to Payson, AZ. It's a beautiful transition from the desert to the ponderosa pines in the higher elevation. This little day park is very interesting. It has the largest natural travertine bridge in North America. We hiked into the canyon and along the spring fed river through the opening. I could only make it until the 6 inch ledge that was too smooth and slippery for me to feel comfortable walking on without falling into the water below. 







So we climbed back out and took the trail with stairs to the other side. It was early morning and the sky was so bright my pictures aren't filtered. I need some help with that.
  





On the other side you can also see where the spring was flowing over the top
