5 mile hike from the fork in the road you will get to the waterfall. Once you have had your fun in the springs, and probably not have even seen a soul while relaxing there, it is on to the waterfalls, cave and toilet bowl! Another. This is all before you even get to the best part of the entire hike! Also keep an eye open for crayfish in the stream under rocks. There are fish in the streams, frogs and more stuff to see as you are immersed in the springs and neature. 5 miles into the springs direction is where you will find the perfect little swimming hole and spring spot on your right, there will be a tiny stream waterfall into a beautiful pool of water. Definitely take the extra 30 minutes to go see the springs.Īfter crossing the creek over the stones and about. Take your time as when will you be back here again! There will be a fork in the road with a sign saying Springs to the left and Dam to the right. You can also take some trails off the main one that lead to beautiful springs and mini swimming holes, which are well worth it. You will start to walk around the water with a ton of build your own adventure paths to come. There are a plethora of pictures you can take during the hike with the trees, flowers, springs and stunning views of the valley.Īs you reach the valley floor is when the real fun begins. You start the hike at the parking lot descending into the valley of the deep canyon with beautiful landscape views along the way. It is located at the Bob Bear Trailhead via Fossil Creek rd from the town of Strawberry. Located just two hours from Phoenix it is a strenuous hike with the best payoffs in AZ at the end. You must have a permit to hike here from April 1st to October 1st and often weekend permits are sold out a month in advance. Google maps will lead you to the Fossil Springs Trailhead 15 minutes from Strawberry, AZ. If you want some other Must Do swimming hole and waterfall hikes near Phoenix check out my list here! Or you can see a lot of my Sedona Top 6 Things To Do or Phoenix Best 18 Things To Do As Well!īe sure to come here from Strawberry, AZ as that is where you will find the hike, not via Camp Verde, where Fossil Creek is located. Do not do this hike unless you can hike 10 miles in the heat and the parks department asks you leave your dogs at home due to the heat and length. Warning, this hike is definitely long and strenuous thus make sure to pack food and bring a lot of water. This hike often gets confused with is Fossil Creek, which is pretty but only a 30 minute walk after driving down a dirt road for an hour, thus I would definitely do this one if looking for a challenging hike with amazing rewards at the end. I don’t know if there is any day hike on earth with so many things to do with payoffs as unique and beautiful. I assume they never find the cave, toilet bowl swim into the grottos or springs along the way. There is so much beauty along the Bob Bear hike with stunning water and a ton of different adventures! I have seen people give this hike lower ratings because they must just see the waterfall and that’s it…
