The Underrated Arizona Spring That Just Might Be Your New Favorite Summer Destination
Given the rapid influx of tourists come summertime, Arizonans are always looking for new spots to make a splash. Cue Seven Falls: an often overlooked, yet completely underrated series of swimming holes with a three-tiered waterfall feeding into it. See for yourself:

Accessing it requires driving down a long, windy desert road lined with towering Saguaros, mountains looming ahead as if they own the landscape. With every mile, you inch closer to the destination, with the excitement and anticipation growing exponentially.

Bring more water than you think necessary, as shade is sparse. It's an extremely straightforward hike, so that should somewhat help counteract the distance.

The largest pool overlooks Tucson and is understandably the most crowded.

Though the water can appear copper-brown in color, it's actually very clean - the hue is caused by dissolved minerals by the cascade as if flows down Mt. Lemmon.
