The trail is a 7 mile out and back trail, 3.5 miles each way. That may seem like a long hike to some, especially in this Arizona heat. But the reward at the end of the trail makes it totally worth while.
The Crack is a perfect place for cliff jumping, sunbathing, and just splashing around in the water.
The trail to get to The Crack is called the Bell Trail, and is located near the Wet Beaver Wilderness area. I found the trail easily and for the sake of this article tested out 6 different GPS systems and found if you put in the Bell Trail in Rimrock Arizona into the GPS, it will take you right to the parking area.
From there just follow the trail, 3.5 miles out, I did notice a couple forks in the trail, but if you stay to the left you will find The Crack.
The hike out was amazing in its own right, the trail offers an elevation gain of around 500 feet and has numerous sights of interest.
This is a popular location on hot summer days, my advice is to go during the week day to avoid crowds.
No permits are needed, and there is no fee to swim or hike. Phone service is limited at best, swim at your own risk and please remove all trash when you leave, and don’t forget to tell your friends, that you went swimming at The Crack, in Wet Beaver Creek.
