Oak Creek Vista

Located along scenic Arizona State Route 89A at the top of Oak Creek Canyon, Oak Creek Vista offers sweeping panoramic views of red rock country and the winding highway below. Visitors can take a short walk along a paved path leading to scenic viewpoints, restrooms, and picnic facilities. The vista also hosts an artisan market where local Native American craftspeople display and sell handmade jewelry and traditional gifts.
