Havasu Falls
- 2
To our
left we saw views of Navajo Falls and Havasu Creek as its blue
green waters ran through the canyon. It's here that I realized
what a spiritually powerful place we had found. From here the
trail descended gradually down into a grove of cottonwood trees
that provided such delightful shade. It was at this point that
the trail crossed the river via a small wooden bridge. The trail
climbed a small rise and continued to parallel the river. Just
before the top of the falls the trail jogged to the left near
the canyon wall. The trail down to the base of the falls was
moderately steep, but quite wide. All along this section we
had unobstructed views of Havasu falls. |

Most
people come to Supai to see the beautiful aquamarine waters
of Havasu creek and the numerous and now famous waterfalls
such as Havasu Falls. Havasu Falls consists of a double set
of falls that plummet about 200 feet into a blue pool below.
This was a great place to take a dip and cool off. The water
is just the right temperature for a swim. It'll also help
lower your body temperature if you happen to be here between
March and September when day time temperatures can be anywhere
from 80 to 100 degrees F.
