Wet Beaver Creek Details

Located deep in the Coconino National Forest is this trickling brook where you can spend a few hours relaxing and swimming. The translucently clear water flows through a massive crack along the rim of a canyon and features many different pools and waterfalls where you can splash around or jump into. The only thing is you will need to hike 3.5 miles to reach it. The route is not too strenuous, but there is relatively little shade, so you must come prepared with water and sunscreen in addition to your swim suit.
