We took another attempt at Mt. Baldy and it was a fun hike. The downside, we were unable to summit again due to snow all over the switchbacks. Everyone that did make it to the switchbacks turned back, we did so as well. It still was a fun and beautiful hike.
This weekend we were finally able to tackle a trip that has been long overdue, a hike up to Brown’s Peak. the highest peak of the Four Peaks.
With Spring break and the news of multiple Arizona state park closures my sister and I decided to visit the Tonto Natural Bridge.
The Tonto Natural Bridge is the world’s largest natural travertine bridge. It is 183 feet high over a 400 foot long tunnel that is 150 feet at its widest point. The park is a quick drive from Phoenix, approximately an hour to an hour and a half on the highway 87. Once we arrived it was a cheap $5 per person fee. The park contains a beautiful visitor center that was built in 1927, tons of picnic areas, outhouses, plenty of parking, four trails (although when we went two of the four were open), and four viewpoints that are level with the parking lot.
