Crescent Moon Picnic Site

About

Photographers try to get just the right shot of Cathedral Rock looming over the reflective waters of Oak Creek. This picnic area features open lawns and plenty of picnic benches. To get to the best photography spots, walk to the far end of the open fields and follow the path along the creek until you reach a wide riverbank of red rock. Even further than that is Buddha Beach, a small swimming hole directly underneath Cathedral Rock. It's possible to hike to this picnic area from the Secret Slickrock trail, or vice versa. The trailhead is hidden behind some electric boxes about 100 feet north of the park entrance on Red Rock Crossing Rd. Open 8 a.m. to dusk.
