Slide Rock was one of those waterfalling excursions that probably stretched the definition of what a waterfall was in our experience. It was really a series of small cascades (the tallest one…

The moment I had my first glimpse of Havasu Falls, I knew it was somewhere I needed to go. After months of planning, we loaded up our backpacks and made the journey. The trip was worth every single step along the way. 1 Comment*Enter your name*2 characters minimum.Do not change these fields following 6 + […]

If you want to see the falls and not deal with the problems associated with the Indian reservation, do this trip in one day. Take the helicopter in, hike down to the falls and then fly-out. Supai village is a dump. There’s garbage strewn about everywhere. The main tourist attraction in town is watching a […]

I went on this trip around 2003 or 2004, with my friend’s dad who’s been coming here 8 years in a row. Although the hike was pretty rigorous (those switchbacks were hell!), the views were absolutely breathtaking. Weather was hot, but the falls were just the right temperature. We hiked during the wee hours, about […]

We hiked to Havasu Canyon last week. The entire trip was full of stunning scenery, but Mooney Falls was our favorite. One has to work a bit harder for Mooney Falls. It is 3-4 miles from the village. The climb to the base of the falls is challenging, but doable for a couple in our […]

I’m not sure whether this is influenced by the water level or the flash flood in 2008. When we visited Havasu Falls last week, there was a single plume of water surging over the crest. As stunning as this waterfall is, we thought Mooney Falls (a mile or so down stream) was even more impressive. […]

We hiked down into Havasu Canyon last week. You can see the travertine formations where Navajo Falls used to flow. You can also find other travertine formations where older waterfalls once flowed. This is a very dynamic place. A local news report claims there have been 14 significant flash floods in the past century. Each […]

Grand Falls, when it’s on like it was when we were there, is one of the most attractive waterfalls in the US (let alone the American Southwest). What makes this proclaimed 181ft waterfall so…

Havasu Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. It tumbles some 90ft in a pair of plumes as they plunge off travertine cliffs into turquoise pools below…

Mooney Falls is the tallest of the Havasupai Reservation waterfalls. It plunges some 190ft in a tall singular column amongst ominous-looking travertine stalactites…

Navajo Falls is the first major waterfall you’ll see as you follow the Havasu Creek downstream in the Havasupai Reservation. It tumbles some 75ft through thick brush…
