Havasupai

So last week some friends and I went on our long awaited trip to Havasupai. Havasupai is an Indian Reservation in Arizona home to the Havasupai tribe. About 450 people live in the Supai village. However, the tribe opens a portion of the canyon for visitors to enjoy the beautiful waterfalls and scenery. Our adventure started out with an eleven hour drive down to Arizona! After sleeping on a trailer that night, we started the ten mile hike to the campground. Here is the group starting out.

In case you doubted my strength...

Clay, Jessie, and I hiking in.

Last year the campground in Havasupai was flooded so the once green and lush surroundings now look a little like a refugee camp. Jake is commentating on this video.

Havasupai is known for its waterfalls. Here were some of my favorites. The ladies overlooking Mooney Falls (Annie, Cherise, Jessie, Lani).

The next day we tried to hike down the river to Beaver Falls. We never found it, but we had a great time hiking.


Can we all fit on the same rock?

Jumping off the rope swing!

  1. Annie-what fun pictures. Looks like you are enjoying some fun adventures. It looks like a good group of friends, too! Chad's family has been to Havasu a couple times and they always talk about it. I'll tell him you went and he'll be so jealous! The waterfalls are incredible.

  5. We've been wanting to go to Havasuapi for a while. We actually had reservations for May but had to cancel. Hopefully we'll make it down there soon. Looks like you're having a fun summer. Are you ready for school to start back up?
