About this swimming hole
A 3.5-mile desert hike ends at a pour-over where Wet Beaver Creek has carved a narrow slot and a deep, cliff-lined pool known as The Crack. The setting feels wilder than Oak Creek, with far fewer people and excellent cliff-jumping ledges. Bring more water than you think you need; the exposed trail is brutal midday.
