About this swimming hole
A chain of seven cascades pours through a granite box canyon deep in the Santa Catalinas, ending in a series of clear plunge pools. The 8-mile round-trip Bear Canyon hike is the price of admission, and the pools are the payoff. Go after wet winters when all seven falls are actually running.
