The Crack at Wet Beaver Creek
Rimrock, Arizona
4.6 miles NE of Rimrock, ArizonaThe Crack is a popular swimming hole found by hiking the Bell Trail down to Wet Beaver Creek. After following the trail for about 3.5 miles away from the parking lot, take a detour to the left just before crossing the creek. From there, you will find the area known as The Crack, with water that is typically crystal clear, and rocks high enough to jump from. The Bell Trail winds along near the creek for most of the way, with side trails that will take you to the water periodically. The first time the trail crosses the river is just below The Crack, so if you're still looking for it, you've gone too far!ĆĀ
Most of the hike is through rocky red desert terrain, so be sure to bring plenty of water, extra sunscreen, and maybe a hat to protect from the hot sun.ĆĀ Never jump into water if you're not sure how deep it is.
Horses and their riders can access this trail by taking the Bruce Brockett Trail; there is trailer parking at the trailhead for the Bruce Brockett Trail.
