**Hidden Meadow**
Located at the very end of the road beyond the old Miner Cabin and farm field, this campsite offers a truly secluded retreat. To reach it, you’ll cross the creek and step into a peaceful meadow surrounded by towering trees and steep canyon walls, with the sound of running water echoing through the canyon. This spot is the closest access point to my favorite swimming hole. As you walk upstream, the scenery feels like something out of a fairy tale—after just a few hundred yards, you’ll discover a breathtaking swimming area unlike anywhere else in Arizona. Beyond this spot, the creek flows over smooth bedrock, forming a series of small, crystal-clear pools. Keep an eye on the cliffs above—you might spot the golden eagles that nest and hunt along the canyon walls.
