Where is Workman Creek Falls in Arizona?
Tucked away in rural Gila County is one of the most underrated waterfalls in Arizona that even most locals don’t even know about. It’s the impressive, 200-foot-tall Workman Creek Falls, and it’s astonishingly beautiful. The entire area is quite amazing; it’s probably one of our favorite places to explore in Arizona, thanks in part to the fact that so few people know about it.
What are some waterfalls in Arizona to add to my bucket list?
Life in Arizona is a lot more beautiful than one might expect. All too many people seem to think Arizona is made of desert, heat, and boredom, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. As it turns out, there are lots of natural wonders in Arizona – many of which are literal waterfalls! Perhaps the single most famous waterfall in AZ is Havasu Falls, an incredible, turquoise-blue cascade nestled within the Grand Canyon that requires one of the most rigorous hikes in Arizona to access. On the way, you’ll also experience other waterfalls, like Fifty Foot and Lower Navajo. Other Arizona waterfalls include the falls you’ll find at Fossil Creek, the seasonal waterfall within Oak Creek Canyon, and, of course, Hidden Falls.
