I just posted the route info for what is probable the two best swimming holes in Moab and maybe two of the best desert swimming holes anywhere. As a bonus the GPS waypoints to a couple of really nice petroglyph panels is also included.

Great post Ice. Spent some fun times there. Another great place is the hike up to Morning Glory arch. Plenty of flowing water, but no great swimming holes like Millcreek.

That's a great spot. Here's a secret..... nude sunbathers sometimes occupy that upper pool.

Ya, as well as other 'fun' activities. When we all descended on this place, we noticed some clothing shed off to the side of the pool. I snuck around the corner and caught some dude groping his girlfriend's breasts. :naughty: The startled look on his face when he looked up was priceless.

Apparently, the other good spot for nude sunbathers is up the right fork.

I've always wondered what you would find at this swimming hole:

And, I'm really surprised Shane hasn't been to this beauty of a canyon, which is located in Utah:

I'm thinking of setting a goal of climbing every US peak with Nipple in the name. :2thumbs:

I've already climbed the Grand Nipple.... err.... I mean Teton.

:lol8: Ya, I was really wishing I had my goggles and arm floats too.

Pretty fun little splash pool. Penalty points are high for screwing up though.

I've spent years playing around in the Millcreek area...nice pools, and even 'nicer' around Memorial weekend or after when the heat just peels the clothes off!!
