A
The US has countless secret swimming holes throughout most states, many of which you’ve likely never heard of unless you’re from the area.
Havasu Falls
This attractive waterfall in the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a destination spot requiring a 10­mile walk to the falls. You can take a guided tour to the falls, or make it on your own. The Havasu Falls is on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which means you’ll need to get a permit to visit—this has become increasingly difficult as more people discover this hidden place.
Hamilton Pool
Hamilton Pool was created when an underground river’s roof fell down suddenly, exposing what is now the swimming hole and creating a 50­foot waterfall that flows over the above limestone(石灰岩). You’ll have to reserve beforehand to gain entry to the Hamilton Pool Preserve.
Chutes and Ladders
To get to this secret swimming hole, you’ll have to grasp a rope and slide down the face of a cliff for 40 feet, and then climb down about 8 feet of lava rock to the pool. Once there, however, you’ll be glad you have made the journey. The swimming hole is on the edge of the ocean, a natural pool, you could say, with a depth that invites you to jump in without crowds of people around to watch.
Homestead Crater
The Homestead Crater is hidden under a rock dome(穹顶) with an opening at the top that allows for sunlight and air. It was once only accessible by that top opening, but there is now easy access through a side path for visitors. Go for a swim in the beautiful mineral spring water.
