My family went to Havasupai Falls last week. It was the most amazing and magical place I have ever been. It is located in the Grand Canyon and is about a 9 hour drive and a 10 mile hike in. It was so worth every darn blister and it was my first hike with a back pack (I think I over packed a bit, my bag weighed 60 pounds, surprise!). There is a large campsite that is right next to the falls. Havasupai is this incredible oasis in the middle of the dessert with crystal clear water. We went down with most of my dad's family and friends. There was a group of 70 people. We had such a blast with our crew! We lived in our suites the entire trip and spent our days swimming, cliff jumping, rope swinging, tubing rivers, exploring (which was my favorite) and vegging out. Each fall has its own uniqueness. I personally think that Havasupai is the prettiest, Navajo reminded me of a waterfall you would find in Hawaii and was super fun, and I had the best time Mooney falls. Mooney was also my favorite to hike to. You went through a rock cave and had to hike down a sheer cliff by holding on the chains and bolts. Did I mention that the water is freezing! You eventually get used to it and it feels good because it's so hot there. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that enjoys a good adventure and nature. You can get all of the information at www.havasupaitribe.com. We are planning our next trip sometime next June and everyone is invited!
