Hey everyone, I wanted to tell everyone how amazing Havasu Falls is. It's definitely a bucket list... read more
The waterfalls and the hike is amazing. I really had a great time. However, seeing animals being abused is not worth it. For anyone going down there - you have to hike. It's an 11 mile hike to camp, then from camp it's a 5 mile each way hike to the lower falls. If you can't do the 11 mile hike with your tent and provisions then sorry you can't go. Do not use pack mules or horses to carry your stuff down. Anyone who does this does not deserve to be there. The horses and mules are abused, have obvious rope burns and make the 11 mile (22 mile) round trip journey each day (multiple times maybe) because you're too lazy to carry your stuff. If you do this, you are the ones who are abusing the animals. I didn't see the worst of it but from what I saw, it was horrible. The animals are skinny, go without proper water and food all for your enjoyment. I didn't know this until I was already hiking in the canyon. And this behavior has been going on for years, it's absolutely horrible.
Spent 3 nights on the Havasupai tribal land, camped at the campground just below Havasupai falls. The falls are stunning but they are only a small part of the area. This is definitely a trip worth doing but currently only 3 night permits are being issued... that’s actually a plus, there is so much to do hiking the area and visiting the various falls.
Havasupai is breathtaking. Videos and Photos can’t compare to that moment you first see it from the trail with your own eyes!
We hiked in hot weather, chilly weather, rain and hailstorm as well. Hiking in to the canyon is so magical and beautiful experience of exploring the nature's wonderland.
Trail Name: Havasupai Trailhead (located at the Hualapai Hilltop Parking Lot Area)
Havasupai Trailhead Elevation: 5,174 feet starting at Hualapai Hilltop
Type of Trail: Out-and-Back
Distance: Roughly 35 miles roundtrip (Including all 5 falls).
When we heard the sound of the water it was like angels singing us a song and we knew we were close to camp!
The water color looks fake in photos/videos, but when you see it with your own eyes..it leaves you speechless.
Colors and massive size of Falls is everything you would ever dream of from a waterfall.
Camping alongside river , listening to birds chirping, water flow sound, no network, no electricity.. Gives you the best time to talk to yourself and enjoy the nature in this busy world.
MAGICAL PARADISE ! Worth every step

Pictures don’t do this place justice. If you get a chance to go, take it. Hike in early and hike out even earlier. (We left the campground at 4 and hit sun on the switchbacks leading to the hilltop. It was brutal). Havasu falls feels a little like a resort, so leave that behind and trek down to Mooney and beaver falls. Take plenty of water/snacks/sunscreen. Sometimes they sell tacos by the falls, but you can’t count on that. Squirrels weren’t a problem for us but we hung everything. Falls are refreshing after a long hike!
These falls are grand. Spent a couple of hours each day just relaxing and enjoying to people and water. Lot's to see around the falls.
Havasu Falls is breathtaking. Photos can’t compare to that moment you first see it from the trail with your own eyes! Conveniently located to the village, the fry bread stands and the campground. There are a few picnic tables here, and the mist from the falls isn’t as far reaching as Mooney. Water felt great in early May and was crystal clear.
