Slide Rock State Park
a natural sandstone water slide in the creek
Slide Rock State Park is one of the places Roamward flags on the Oak Creek Canyon because it gives the drive its texture: a natural sandstone water slide in the creek. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
