In June, 2009 we hiked up the historic Bell trail to Wet Beaver Creek, where we sampled the swimming hole known as the keyhole or the crack. It was a long hot hike, but the swimming hole was very nice. We also tested out underwater camera technology.

The swimming hole is in a sandstone cleft and features a number of nice flat platforms and even a stone "diving board" with deep water under it.

On the hike back we saw an Arizona kingsnake that was very pretty and rather frantic in its attempts to hide under a big rock. I didn't get any pictures of it. We also saw a long (around 5 or 6 feet) gopher snake and lots of lizards.
Here is a link to the spot adventure page I made - it has maps, and some of the same pics, and that sort of stuff. Lots of annoying tracking and web 2.0 sort of stuff too. http://www.spotadventures.com/trip/view/?trip_id=170489
