Red Rock Pools are natural pools located in a crescent bend of Santa Ynez River. The giant rock formations, close to the river and surrounded by forest, make this place a unique spot in this area. During the rainy season, the pools are deep enough to jump from the rocks, and during summer the pools can be very crowded.
