Havasu Falls

Beautiful place but not so beautiful people. BE PREPARED TO SEE LOTS OF ANIMAL ABUSE. Lots of poor horses and mules who are malnourished and with open sores. GO TO savehavasupaihorses ON SOCIAL MEDIA! CANT GO ON. These people's ancestors would be incredibly disappointed.

Yes, permites are challenging. That shouldn’t stop anyone. Go to their official website, create an account and hunt on Feb 1st@ 8 am. Long hike in and out (mules and helicopters out are available to those who need it). ‼️Pack EVERYTHING IN AND OUT, PLEASE! We saw people leaving their tents, sleeping bags and other stuff they didn’t want to carry out there. Please don’t do that. Nobody wants to carry someone else’s trash out. It will end up somewhere in the falls. Please care for nature! ‼️ Sturdy water shoes are needed. Playing in the water is must have, the surface is really rough. I got carried away and broke my toe 😂😂😂 There is a spring available for drinking water, still take filter with you, you never know! Campsites are all over the place, the coolest ones are to the right from the entrance closer to the creek. Red light headlamp was great to avoid mosquitoes and insects. Hydration pills for the long hike are good too! Hiking poles will save your knees (and your back probably)😎 Early in the morning it will be quite cold on top at the parking lot, don’t worry, it’s always warmer in the canyon. All the waterfalls are walking distance, I would take a day though to go to beaver falls and further, it can add up to 9 miles one way all the way to the end and 3 to beaver falls.

What a beauty! It's a paradise in the middle of the desert. It is situated in Arizona. To go there, you will require a booking of the lodging or a camp site. It's a lottery system to do booking. You can reach your camp site in three ways. 1. By hiking (about 11-12 miles) 2. By hiking but sending your luggage to the site using a mule. 3. By helicopter. If you're a hiking person, I'll suggest the first one. You need to start hiking a little bit early like 5 am in the morning because it's difficult to do while the sun is up. Bring enough water while hiking. There are 2 ways to stay there. 1. Lodge 2. Camping The lodge is 2 miles away from the first waterfall. Camp ground is just beside the fall. The places to see while you are there are 1. Beaver fall 2. Mooney falls 3. Havasu canyon 4. Fifty foot fall 5. Little Navajo falls 6. Navajo falls 7. Matkatamiba trail. The water of the fall is blue and it looks beautiful from the top. The Mooney fall is the tallest one and to go there it is a 2 mile hike from the camp ground and to go to the bottom of the fall, the last natural staircase is a little bit difficult. If you're a photography enthusiast, you have to take your camera. You have to capture long exposure photos of the fall. You can swim in the fall. The permit is necessary and the lodging is a little bit costly nearly $ 440 for one room for 4 people. If going camping, have your equipment ready, bring enough food and water. It is at least a 2 day trip. Enjoy the scenery there without any disturbance from the phone.

The grandeur of Havasu Canyon is captured beautifully in the legendary blue-green waters of Havasu Falls. Permits via the Havasupai Tribe website are needed to visit the area, and it requires a hike of around ten miles from the Hualapai Hilltop trailhead to reach this specific site, but descending from Supai Village and making the slight turn to behold Havasu Falls is a jaw-dropper — simply stunning and more than worth the effort. No matter how many treks you make worldwide, you’ll be hard pressed to beat the magnificence of this iconic waterfall!

I've been around the world, and can genuinely say that Havasupai Falls offers one of the most unique, rewarding experiences possible. Each level of Havasu comes with a test of physical endurance, but generously rewards you with breathtaking views and serenity to refresh and reset before heading to the next fall. Pack plenty of water, keep a comfortable pace, and don't force yourself to make the journey too quickly. I recommend heading out just a few moments before daybreak to enjoy a nice brisk walk and experience some amazing views at sunrise. -While heading down Mooney falls, be sure to keep three points of contact at all times, as the rock wall is slippery due to mist from the falls. -The path to Beaver Falls will remind you of something straight out of Jurassic Park! The most important suggestion I have for visitors (aside from packing plenty of water/sunblock, and wearing super comfortable gear-especially shoes) is to be respectful and pick up after yourselves. It's an honor to be extended the privilege of visiting such an incredible destination. Be kind to the locals, and take time to ask about their culture and the history of the falls. The stories are powerful and will instill a deepened appreciation for the setting you're in. O yea.. if you're camping.. keep your food up! Don't think that a couple rocks on top of your bucket will keep the critters out. They've had a ton of time to work on their food stealing strategies :)
