If you want to see Havasu Falls you’ll need to plan in advance. You will have to get the correct permits and make reservations too. Despite the extra effort required, Havasu Falls remains a popular destination as people long to see the green-blue falls. The land is outside of the jurisdiction and boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park.
People who work for the well-known Grand Canyon Railway claim that it is “almost as dramatic as the spectacular surroundings.” Veteran visitors confirm it lives up to the hype. One highlight of riding on the popular Grand Canyon Railway is that you will be traveling with a number of “authentic western characters” to help take you back in time to the early 1900s.
Conservationists will be happy to learn that the railroad reportedly helps keep roughly 50,000 automobiles out of the park. Thus, it also helps to preserve this famous national treasure. Oddly enough, while the park is home to an assortment of wildlife from condors to bighorn sheep, the rock squirrels are responsible for the majority of first aid treatments to visitors. In other words, do not feed them!
