Havasu Falls, Havasupai Reservation, Grand Canyon, AZ, 4/8/19


Off to day of exploring the Havasu Falls.  There we are all taking pictures of the Navajo Falls, the first on of several major falls in the area. 




Havasu Creek runs about 12-13 miles from the village thru the canyon to join the Colorado river.



The campground runs for at least 2 miles all along Havasu Creek and provides space for up to 600 people.  A villager told us that reservations are usually limited to 400 per nite to limit the impact on the land.  It was one of the most beautiful campgrounds I have ever seen.

Brave souls, bathing in ice cold waters.


After Havasu Falls came Mooney Falls, accessible only via a tunnel, hand holds, chains, ropes and ladders.  I took one look at the people carefully inching their way down the cliff and decided that was not for me.
