Ladders Along Havasu Creek To Beaver Falls
Ladders along Havasu Creek change over time, as seasonal floods come through and wash them out. It happens every year or two. Sometimes, it happens more than once in a 12-month span!
Flash floods hit in October of 2022, and then again in March of 2023, forcing the Havasupai Tribe to rebuild and replace the ladders along Havasu Creek between the village of Supai and Beaver Falls.
A traditionally wooden ladder on the hike to Beaver Falls is now replaced with an aluminum ladder, tied to the rocks. It arrived as part of the latest round of FEMA disaster relief the tribe received.
Right at the end of the hike to Beaver Falls, you’ll rely on a few older, wooden ladders (and structures that resemble ladders) for the final descent.
