At the bottom of Oak Creek Canyon lies a swimming hole that has continually been recognized for its spectacular hidden locale. It’s situated below an apple orchard and surrounded by Sedona’s iconic red rocks. There’s even an 80-foot-long “slide” that has been worn into the sandstone and is covered in algae, making for a slippery ride.
“When you think of Arizona, you don’t think of water,” said Theriault, adding that a visit to the canyon is “a perfect trip any time of year.”
