Hike Description: Restroom at TH.  This hike starts out on a smooth dirt trail. At the 1-mile mark, look for Petroglyphs next to the trail, on your left. The trail will parallel Wet Beaver Creek and soon begin to climb up into the rocks where the views are worth the work. At about 3.5 miles We come to The Crack. This is a huge bouldered area where the creek flows below and forms pools of sparkling water. The boulders offer the brave a chance to jump into the water for a refreshing swim. Come prepared. Bring a snack. We’ll hang out here for a while before starting the 3.5-mile hike out.

Drive Instructions: I- 17 N to Sedona exit 298 (79 miles) turn right on Beavercreek Road 618 approx 2 miles to sign for Bell Trail turn left down a dirt rd.  Do not go to the overflow parking prior to the sign.
