Oak Creek Canyon, Natural canyon in northern Arizona, United States
Oak Creek Canyon extends for 12 miles through Coconino National Forest, with rock walls reaching heights between 800 and 2000 feet.
The geological formations of Oak Creek Canyon developed over millions of years through erosion processes, revealing multiple layers of sedimentary rock formations.
Native American artisans sell traditional jewelry and crafts at Oak Creek Vista overlook from April through November, continuing long-standing local traditions.
The canyon features three year-round Forest Service campgrounds - Cave Springs, Pine Flats, and Manzanita - accessible through advance reservations on Recreation.gov.
West Fork Trail crosses Oak Creek 13 times along its path, allowing hikers to experience both the water and surrounding canyon formations.
