Travel to attractive Catalina State Park to Romero Pools where you can get away from the sizzlin’ summer heat. Hike in to enjoy the sunshine and cool water of this famous natural swimming hole and make a memory as well. The hiking trail is an easy one and is quite scenic complete with pretty yellow wildflowers.
You will no doubt notice how nicely the pool is nestled in naturally carved stone. The verdant greenery and rolling, rugged mountains provide a stunning landscape. When it rains, this place fills to the brim and becomes a lovely, lush oasis in the heart of the otherwise arid Arizona desert. Here you can go swimming, sunbathe, do yoga, or just relax and be overtaken by the overall ambiance.
You will find the popular Bull Pen Swimming Hole in Camp Verde. It is considered one of the state’s best places for cliff diving. There are a number of different jumping heights here.
Throw in a reportedly perfect water temperature, and clear water, and this popular place is also family-friendly and a crowd fave to boot. The hike into this swimming hole is considered easy, and scenic and features pretty plants and trees, and is easy for all guests. Here you can swim, sunbathe, jump from a genuine rope swing, and do some cliff diving too. It’s a fun place to spend time with friends and family. Several swimming holes are available here so if you prefer privacy just take the paths off of the trail that leads to the official Bull Pen itself.
