Red Rocks Crossing Details
It is hard to top the otherworldly view of Cathedral Rock while you are swimming in this peaceful creek. It hangs over the horizon high above the green treetops, providing a fantastic background for your outdoor adventure. The creek itself is wide, flat, and calm, so it’s the perfect destination for those who just want to soak in the surroundings. You will also find little pools dotted around the banks, where the water is deeper than what flows down the main section of the river. One of the best times to visit is during sunset when Cathedral Rock is illuminated in an awe-inspiring orange glow. However, be prepared to share this view with other visitors, especially photographers who come to capture this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
