Travertine rock formations build up over time from the dripping and evaporation of mineral laden water. Eventually the travertine forms into stalactites and shallow caves. Tonto Natural Bridge is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. It stands over a 400-foot-long tunnel that is 150 feet wide and 183 feet high. The volume of rock in the bridge is estimated to be 200 million cubic feet. The bridge is the result of water laden with calcium carbonate from perennial springs that have dripped for thousands of years. The natural bridge was discovered by Scotsman David Gowan in 1877. Gowan persuaded his family to emigrate and move to the location where they built a lodge in 1927. They lived there until 1948 when the land and building were sold to Pine native Glen Randall. In 1967 Randall’s widow sold the property and eventually it became a State Park. The lodge is still standing and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Tonto Natural Bridge State Park is near Pine, Arizona, USA.
