This hybrid spring blends easy accessibility with natural beauty, featuring a striking deep green pool framed by cliffs that invite adventurous jumps. Its flowing stream creates a series of swimming holes that cater to both thrill seekers and those craving gentler waters, making it a standout among hot springs in Arizona.
Getting There
You reach Grasshopper Point with a short 5-minute walk from ample parking, requiring no difficult hiking. The clear, wide trail leads you directly to the swimming areas, making this spring one of the most accessible in Arizona. Its drive-up access means you can quickly escape the desert heat and dive into cool, rejuvenating waters without effort.
What to Expect
The water stays crisp and inviting, perfect for cooling off during Arizona’s warmer months. The pool’s cliffs soar about twenty feet high, offering exhilarating jumps into deep water, while downstream spots provide calmer swimming options. On weekends, expect a lively atmosphere as crowds gather here, but you can explore further downstream by rock-hopping to find quieter, more secluded swimming holes.
Tips for Visitors
Visit in spring when the weather makes Arizona swimming holes especially inviting. Bring sturdy shoes for rock hopping if you want to explore beyond the main area. Parking is plentiful, though fees are unclear—plan accordingly. Don’t forget water shoes and sun protection to enjoy a full day by this scenic cold spring.
