Sedona, Arizona Swimming Holes - Slide Rock State Park

Slide Rock is a Sedona landmark where the creek flows through a long slippery set of rocks! Hop in and let the current carry you! Make sure you wear sturdy shorts over your swimsuit or you may just end up with "rock burn" on your legs.

Although the park is often jam-packed with people you can easily hike and rock hop upstream to find peace and seclusion. There are many spots where you can sit in the water and let it flow around you, or find a rock near one of the natural whirlpool areas and let the water pull all the tension out of your feet. This is great fun for all ages. I highly recommend a stop here if you're visiting!
