Slide Rock State Park in Oak Creek Canyon offers its visitors a rare and unique opportunity - sliding down the naturally slippery creek bottom into one of the best swimming holes the Southwest has to offer. With its cool waters and abundance of chutes, pools and riffles, Slide Rock has become a top destination spot for locals and visitors alike.

The Valley’s elite guard gated communities are located in the most scenic and expensive neighborhoods in the state. Guards phone residents before admitting visitors, and service workers enter only at scheduled times. Guests receive a one day restricted visitor’s permit that must be displayed on their vehicle.
