About 60 miles northeast of downtown Phoenix, Sycamore Creek has several natural pools used for skinnydipping. Crowds can range from just a few or zero during the week to 15 or 20 visitors on peak weekends. The area seems to attract mostly men with occasional women. The creek gets peak use in spring and fall since it is often dry in summer (and sometimes even by late spring). Usually, the little water left in the pools in summer is stagnant.

Nude swimming and sunbathing are quite common here, and some visitors do the hike naked. Encounters with textiles are apparently rare. Be absolutely sure to take plenty of drinking water with you; it gets extremely hot here.
