Crescent Moon Picnic Area

One of the most photographed scenes in the southwest is the towering Cathedral Rocks reflected in the waters of Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing. It should come as no surprise, then, that the picnic area located at that same site is equally as popular.

People come here to fish, swim, and wade in the creek, as well as to picnic and photograph the scenery. At times it can become quite crowded. But if you come early in the morning or on a weekday, it's possible to have the world-class beauty of Red Rock Crossing all to yourself, or nearly so.
