Swimming & Petroglyphs

The Cowboy Hot Tubs are a beautiful section of clear stream in the middle of red rock desert. The entire family will enjoy splashing in the warm fresh water. The Cowboy Hot Tubs are formed where a desert stream flows over a long section of slickrock. The sun heats the slickrock, which in turn heats the water to bath tub warm temperatures. To top things off native American rock art lines the canyon walls for your enjoyment.
