Tonto Natural Bridge State Park

"For those that love hiking, nature and seeing what mother nature can do this is the place for you. We were awestruck at this natural formation. In simple terms it's a beautiful area and well worth the 2hr drive from Williams as that was our home base for our trip. The gift shop is cute and cozy staffed with friendly and knowledgeable staff."

"Absolutely stunning. The trails are well cared for and maintained. The facilities are well maintained as well. The views are breathtaking. Highly recommend. We brought a picnic lunch and there was a multitude of tables to choose from."

"Nice people work here. Great location, disappointed that there's NO place to pull over for a picture on the way to the parking lot-its beautiful!!!! Very nicely kept, no garbage, watch for Bees near bathroomS. Paths are fun to walk but NOT well maintained, the grounds crew should dump some gravel on the paths please! Wear your good waterproof hiking boots/good sturdy shoes, especially since they're too lazy to put gravel on the paths that are eroded away."

"We were first greeted by Ranger Jacob on site & his knowledge was a huge part of enjoying ourselves because he shared with us history of the lodge & the park itself. He explained that the lodge can be rented out for weddings, reunions & special occasions. He gave us a brief tour & absolutely loved that. He pointed out the wildlife & sent us on our way with a map and recommendations. The park itself is awe inspiring. We visited late November & pretty much had the bridge to ourselves. We hiked below the bridge and I wouldn’t recommend it for the faint of heart as the rocks are slippery & the boulders take a bit of skill to maneuver. But it was nothing short of magic. If you are travelling through Rim Country do not miss this stop!"

"The Tonto Natural Bridge is such a beautiful natural wonder. The drive down is a paved, winding mountain road with guardrails giving beautiful views of the canyon. When you get to the bottom and enter the park you will pay at the gift shop for your pass (if you don’t have one). It’s always recommended to check in anyway so they know how many visitors use the park and in case of emergency or evacuation they know who is there. Plenty of parking and picnic areas with accessible bathrooms. The trail along the top of the bridge is accessible to most anyone and is paved. The trail to go under the bridge required a lot of warnings and one way is easier than the other and it’s sketchy for some to try the entire trail. It’s recommended to take the easier and most popular route which you get to see the waterfall and doesn’t involve scrambling down steep wet rocks with cliff edges then double back up. The water was nice and refreshing after making it down the hill. The toughness of trail on my scale is it’s not for anyone who should not handle stairs and steep decline/inclines. Always make your own judgement. Be safe and have fun - bring water."
