Oak Creek is as much a center point of the
natural beauty as the red rocks are. The creek starts up near
Flagstaff and really begins when the West Fork joins in.
(More photos in that slideshow).
The stream flows year-round and though it never takes a large drop
over any falls it tumbles the whole length through beautiful valleys
and provides plenty of spots to enjoy. This shot here is at the
south end of Slide Rock State Park.
The creek forms Oak Creek Canyon that
produces some spectacular scenery. The locals have taken steps
to make sure development doesn't encroach on it either. |
