The Grand Canyon is really a canyon that truly lives up to its name. It is among the world's greatest natural wonders and everyone should visit it. Plan in advance and one the best way to explore the Grand Canyon is as simple as horseback (actually mule) riding down into the might canyon. But available space for horse riding is limited so for most of us the best way to explore it is by hiking.
One of the very most eye-watering attractions in the canyon to hike to may be the vaunted Havasu Falls. Havasu Falls is without a doubt one of the excellent achievements to do within the Grand Canyon. While visiting, keep one's eyes peeled for that wildlife in the Grand Canyon!
What To Know About The Canyon's Havasu Falls
The Havasu Falls isn't located in the national park but within Havasupai tribal lands. They're around 1.5 miles from Supai and are probably the most famous waterfalls in the Grand Canyon.
- Located: in Havasupai Tribal Lands (Not In The Grand Canyon National Park)
The Havasu Falls plummet 90-to-100-feet (27 to 30 meters) over the vertical cliff right into a number of plunge pools. The colour from the water is heavenly because of its high calcium carbonate concentration. That provides them a vivid blue-green color. The calcium carbonate forms natural travertine dams near the falls.
- Height: 90 to 100 feet or 27 to 30 Meters
- Color: A Vivid Blue Green
There are lots of picnic tables on the other side from the creek – so hike along with a packed lunch.
Between the trailhead at the parking lot and also the Supai Village, there is no h2o so be sure to take plenty.
One can also swim behind the falls and look for the little rock shelter behind the falls. Be careful if a person does decide to swim around the falls as there happen to be drownings previously.
Getting To and Visiting Havasu Falls
- Supia Village: Includes a General Store and Cafe
If you might enjoy to see the stunning grandeur of the Grand Canyon, then camp there. There is a campground 2 miles hike from Havasu Falls.
The official season for visiting the area is between February and November although in the summer months (June to August) the trail might be closed due to flooding and extreme heat. The optimum time to visit is when it's cooler and before (or after) the large crowds of tourists.
- Summer: Trail May Be Closed To Flooding or Extreme Heat – above 115°F / 46°C
The trek towards the falls is very difficult and one should be careful to become sufficiently fit. There are switchbacks and an elevation of 1,800 feet within the first two miles. If one is pointed in the summer heat, it will be even more difficult.
While the Havasu Falls would be the main attraction there's two more waterfalls just north from the campground on Havasu Falls Trail.
- Forbidden Items: It's Forbidden to Take Alcohol, Drugs, Drones, and Weapons In to the Havasupai Reservation
