Excerpt from Book

Payson, AZ TONTO NATIONAL FOREST Tonto National Forest is the fifth largest forest in the U.S. comprising 3 million acres, ranging from Saguaro cactus-studded desert to pine-forested mountains beneath the Mogollon Rim. The Rim is a topographical and geological feature cutting across the U.S. state of Arizona. It extends approximately 200 miles, starting in northern Yavapai County, it extends east ending near the New Mexico border. Tonto National Forest is referred to as an "urban" forest given its proximate boundaries with Phoenix to the south, the Mogollon Rim to the north and the San Carlos and Fort Apache Indian reservations to the east. Annual visitors to Tonto National Forest match the number of visitors to the Grand Canyon with recreational opportunities throughout the year given its diversity for recreation. Info: Payson, AZ 85547 * 928.476.4202 * TONTO NATURAL BRIDGE STATE PARK The Tonto Natural Bridge is the world''s largest travertine natural bridge, formed by a small stream flowing through a shady canyon in the wooded foothills of the Mogollon Rim. The Bridge can be accessed for sightseeing along several short trails: Gowan Trail, a steep climb; Pine Creek Trail, a longer path with ample view of the bridge; and Waterfall Trail, a short path into the canyon above the bridge. The site became a state park in 1990 and is located ten miles north of the city of Payson on Highway 87.

The reservation was originally named Te-go-suk, or "Place of the yellow water." The traditional lands of the Apache Ndeh translated means People, extended from Texas through New Mexico and Arizona into Mexico and California. Over time, the many bands of Apache were forcibly relocated to reservations. The Rio Verde Reserve was established in 1871 for the Tonto and Yavapai Indians. In 1875, the Tonto and Yavapi were forcibly moved to the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Twenty years later, some of the Tonto Tribe returned to the Payson area. The Tonto Apache Tribe was federally recognized by Congressional Act in 1972.According to the 2010 decennial census, approximately 120 individuals live on Tonto Apache Tribal Land in Arizona. They operate the Mazatazal Casino and the Paysonglo Lodge in Payson.

The Hualapai Reservation, established in 1883, is located on one million acres of Hualapai ancestral lands, within the southern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the Grand Wash Cliffs escarpment. Hualapai or Hwal''bay means "people of the tall pine". The modern northern boundary of the reservation is along the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River and is known as Hakataya, or "the backbone of the river." The ancestors of Hualapai subsisted primarily through hunting wild game, collecting cactus fruit, gathering roots, seeds, and berries, and cultivating gardens.

It is a ten-foot-wide, horseshoe-shaped glass bridge constructed seventy feet beyond the rim of the Canyon. The glass platform is 4,000 feet above the floor of the Canyon below and is said to be strong enough to bear the weight of seventy 747-passenger jets. The Skywalk at Eagle Point, which was named after a natural rock formation that looks like an eagle, has other attractions including a self-guided tour of a Native village that features local and regional tribal heritage including traditionally built housing, ovens, and sweat lodges.
