A place like no other near Sedona in Arizona
If you’re planning a trip to Sedona in the summer, make sure to include a visit to Slide Rock State Park. This park used to have apple trees and got its name from the slippery creek bed near the original homestead. The creek bed now serves as a natural waterslide, which is about 80 feet long. You can have fun riding down the creek on a tube or by yourself, or simply relax in the sun on the rock bed. Aside from the waterslide, the park has many natural swimming pools that you can enjoy. Don’t forget to explore the old homestead of the farm while you’re there!
The park can get crowded, but it’s still worth visiting, especially if you have kids. Families often come here and spend the whole day enjoying the sun and swimming in the cold water. Just be careful near the wet rocks covered in algae, as they can be slippery. Some people have reported getting injured from sliding on them, so watch your step. To avoid the crowds and find parking easily, take the advice of reviewers and arrive early.
