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.

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!
