Beaver Falls Hike: Distance And Difficulty
Hikers might find a couple of spots challenging on the way to Beaver Falls. Really, once you get beyond the chains and ladders at Mooney Falls, the rest of the three miles to Beaver is very enjoyable and not very difficult.
While some of the ladders are makeshift, like the one below, they’ll help give you the boost you need up the rocks!
How Long Is The Hike To Beaver Falls?
Moving at a decent pace, you’ll make it to Beaver Falls in an hour. The big unknown is: how long will it take you to get down Mooney Falls? Sometimes there’s a long wait, since it’s single file. Generally, from the bottom of Mooney Falls to Beaver Falls is about an hour-long hike.
You’ll see varying estimates, but the consensus is: Beaver Falls is almost three miles from Mooney Fall, which is at the end of the Havasupai Campground. So it’s pretty safe to say: From your campsite at Havasupai Falls, expect a three-mile hike to Beaver Falls.

How Difficult Is The Hike To Beaver Falls?
While the main trail will branch off from time to time, it’s impossible to get lost on a hike to Beaver Falls since you’re literally following Havasu Creek all the way there.
After the chains and ladders you’ll use to get down Mooney Falls, the rest of the trail is beautiful and relatively flat. I mentioned the few ladders you’ll have to climb both along the trail, and then to get down to Beaver Falls themselves.
