Grasshopper Point Details

Tucked away between the desert and mountainous landscape of Oak Creek Canyon is his tranquil spot to go swimming. From the parking lot, you will need to venture down a short trail, although you will soon come to a clearing where you will find this picture-perfect swimming hole. The entire body of water is surrounded by towering rocks and canyon walls, which also means you will see a few cliff jumpers. The stones also cover the floor of the pool, so you might also think about bringing swimming shoes to protect your feet.
