Tonto Natural Bridge is believed to be the largest travertine bridge in the world, it is 183 feet in height, 150 feet wide and 390 feet in length. The platform across the bridge is approximately 1050 feet long. The Friends of Tonto at Natural Bridge have as our challenge and our purpose to raise awareness about the plight of the Bridge should the State of Arizona reduce or eliminate public funding. We stand ready and able to raise funds to accomplish our goal if necessary.
Great News
We have learned that Arizona State Parks have agreed to keep the park open for another year. The park wiil be open 5 days a week from Labor Day (September 2011) to Memorial Day (May 2012) and open 7 days a week until September 2012. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.
Fundraising
While the news about the immediate future of the park is terrific, we are still actively engaged in fundraising. We have received two grants totaling $8,500 to update the kiosks and build a monument/entrance sign at the entrance to the bridge. We are still awaiting ADOT approval for the entrance sign, but we must raise $8500 in matching funds to receive the grant. Your help is urgently needed.
