Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Navajo Falls was the first major waterfall that we saw as we followed the Havasu Creek downstream from Supai Village during our November 2002 visit to the Havasupai Indian Reservation.

It’s said to tumble some 75ft through thick brush, which conspired to make photographing the waterfall a bit difficult as you can tell from the photos on this page.

For no matter where we went, we were never able to get a full view of the waterfall.

We noticed this waterfall roughly 3/4-mile from Supai Village. There was an unsigned spur loop that descended closer to another steeper path that took us right down to the base of the waterfall.

While the view from the end of the trail was blocked by foliage (see photo at the top of this page), in order to get past the foliage, I had to either balance precariously on logs or just wade in the creek.

And as you can see from the lack of clean photos of the falls, I did neither.

Unlike Havasu Falls and Mooney Falls (which were both plunge waterfalls), this one was more of a cascade.

Two New Falls replace Navajo Falls in Havasu Canyon April 5, 2010 6:12 pm by Ron Andrews - 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… ...Read More
