I spent the holiday weekend away in Payson. In addition to visiting quaint, adorable Pine, AZ — we took some time to adventure a bit at the Tonto Natural Bridge.

Like so many natural wonders, these photos do no justice to the jaw-dropping awe this place inspires. So, here goes nothing:

Looking forward to more time here, with the right hiking gear and a picnic.

Oh, Arizona. You really are a sweaty, pain in the butt most of the time. But then you remind me of your lovely, tender underbelly and I fall in love all over again.
