#nature is amazing. Visited the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. Beautiful park for a picnic, views and some hiking.
This is a 6 picture panorama shot on a canon T3i with a canon 10-22mm lens at 10mm, ISO 800, F3.5, 30 second exposure. I took this picture a little after 5:00am the sun was just starting to rise. The right side is facing south and the left side is facing east. That’s why you have the yellow and purples on the right from the city and the blue on the left as I was just starting to get some glow from the sun. #bvSSpring #BvSMountains
Horseshoe bend - so amazing the special shape of this place is.

7.6/10 Good! (1,656 reviews)
The staff was very courteous, especially Malik at the desk and John the bell boy. Very helpful and kind. The only one that had attitude was the guy who checked us out and gave us our final bill. I wish i was able to get his name. ( wasnt wearing a tag) Our room was ok for the price. Could have been cleaner. (Hairball in the corner) And no hot water!

6.8/10 (6 reviews)
My room was very quiet and I enjoyed having the kitchen amenities and the balcony. The bed was average. My only negative comments are related to the unusually excessive daily damage deposit that I wasn’t expecting - big upfront unexpected expense! Also there was no bus cart for me to take groceries up to my room - but the bellmen would do it for a set fee. The pool was lovely, but closed at 7pm, which seemed early to me for summer. I enjoyed my stay, but won’t probably return to this resort.
