About this swimming hole
A clear desert creek carving through the juniper country south of Winslow, with deep pools tucked into its sandstone bends. The water runs cool even in summer and the canyon scenery feels far from any road. Access is via rough forest roads, so the pools see far fewer visitors than the Mogollon Rim creeks.
