swimming downstream from Sedona
The red rocks around Sedona are a trekker's dream, and if you know where to go, you can jump in a creek as well. Just to the southwest of Sedona, check out Red Rocks State Park. Take a short hike then cool off with a swim below Cathedral Rock.
(By late June/early July, afternoon thunderstorms are the norm--come for a short hike in the morning and play in the water before the clouds build up. For more info: http://azstateparks.com/parks/rero/index.html)

In times of high use, the casual sanitary habits of some visitors raises the fecal load in the creek above the danger limit and the authorities close the stream to bathers.
