The natural beauty of Havasu Falls

Three large waterfalls in Havasu Creek a landscape that is beautiful and fun. At the base of these falls, one of which is Havasu Falls, is a travertine pool filled with cold turquoise water. In fact, the name of the falls, the nearby lake, and the city all come from the beautiful color of the water. ("Ha" means water, while "vasu" stands for blue-green).

Located on the Havasupai Indian Reservation at Grand Canyon National Park, Havasu Falls stand 120 feet tall.The claim is one of the most beautiful campsites, and the area Backpacking America. For example, under the waterfalls swaying poplars is below 400-foot rock is that, along with falling water, creates a striking lullaby for campers.

Although beautiful, can always be an adventure already Havasu Falls. The most popular route begins in Seligman, where drivers can exit onto I-40 to 123. After exiting, visitors should be 33 miles west on Highway 66 to 18 Indian Road at thisPoint, drivers must turn right and drive about 60 miles to a parking lot at Hualapai Hilltop at the end of the road. Alternatively, drivers can access Indian Road 18 via Kingman driving 50 miles east on Highway 66, which is about 6 miles past Peach Springs.

The visit to the waterfalls will bring more of a long journey, but. After visitors Hualapai Hilltop is the journey truly begins. Visitors must pay an increase of 10 miles from the hills to fall. During the first 1.5Miles is a steep decent to the bottom of Hualapai Canyon (a walk, make a backup copy must be on the way back), the rest of the walk is mostly flat. Tourists walk 6.5 miles to Hualapai more about the country, followed by 2 miles to the campsite.

Even if a trip to the falls includes hours of driving and even more hours of hiking would agree more that the original setting is worth it.
