Wonderfully cascading, Bear Creek tumbles down stone steps here, lined on both sides by proud saguaro cacti. The best time of year to visit Seven Falls is, of course, spring, when the creeks are rushing from the melting snow.

Hiking

Moderate hike of shorter distance in the desert. Take lots of water and plan to go for when the falls have water. It's fun to play in the pools after you get there. The return is downhill and easier.

Running

Reaching Seven Falls involves crossing a stream multiple times, which should be done carefully, especially during periods of high water. The reward in seven falls cascades with inviting pools, perfect for a refreshing dip on a warm day. The pools are seasonal, so they won't be full year-round.
