On Location at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park

Neil and Elisabeth travel up the Mogollan Rim and near Payson,
Arizona to record on location at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park.
Park Manager, Andrew Young, and Assistant Park Manager, Katie
Ferguson, join the show to share about the plants, wildlife, and
geology that make Tonto Natural Bridge one-of-a-kind. They also
share the lesser-known history of this area of Pine Creek Canyon,
from Ancestral Puebloan to European influence.

These two pros also share how they have created their careers in
land management. If you've always dreamed of becoming a park
ranger, their journeys are sure to inspire! Ever humble in their
hard work, Andrew and Katie thank their fantastic team of park
rangers, their dedicated volunteers, and the amazing Friends of
Tonto Natural Bridge group that raises funds for the park.

If after listening to this episode, you are "pining" to
experience Pine Creek Canyon and Tonto Natural Bridge for
yourself, consider joining an event, like Brunch at the Bridge or
Taste of the Bridge, or a tour at this state park!
