Friends of Tonto Natural Bridge State Park

Friends of Tonto Natural Bridge State Park The Rim Country Friends of Tonto Natural Bridge State Park,Inc is a 501(c3) nonprofit corporation.

Tonto Natural Bridge is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world, standing 183 feet high over a 400-foot long tunnel that measures 150 feet at its widest point. Located in the heart of Arizona's Rim Country, Tonto Natural Bridge State Park is a unique and wonderful destination for the entire family. The Friends group, through the Arizona State Parks Foundation, is a valuab

le resource for the bridge, supporting special events, education, maintenance and general contributions to the fine work of the Arizona State Parks system. We hold an annual fundraiser, Taste at the Bridge, held at the Tonto Natural Bridge Lodge. This fundraiser raises awareness and funds for ongoing projects at the park and includes tours of the park, fine food, beverages, live music and auctions. We invite you to become a Friend of Tonto Natural Bridge State Park today through your tax deductible contribution on our Arizona Gives Day Click & Pledge page (see Sign Up link on the timeline photo)

Thank you for your support. Your participation is vital to the life of this beautiful place.
