2Havasu Falls, Supai
Regular readers may recall that Havasu Falls, nestled deep in the heart of the well-known Havasupai Indian Reservation, is a popular favorite as a tourist destination. The American Indian tribe known as the Havasupai has lived in the world-famous Grand Canyon for over 800 years. The tribe now oversees tourism here in order to both maintain and share their unique culture on the Havasupai Indian Reservation.
Their native language is called Havasu, their word for “blue-green water” which visitors see here in the beautiful Havasu Falls. Here you will find the striking waterfalls and exceptional swimming holes backdropped by scarlet rock formations. There’s a lot to do here including hiking, sightseeing, and swimming in the water as the waterfalls crash down in the background. These fantastic falls have even been featured in the well-known 2019 music video “Spirit”, a tune that was written and recorded by American songstress Beyonce for the 2019 remake of the Disney animated feature The Lion King.
3Mooney Falls, Supai
While in Supai, why not visit Mooney Falls near the Havasupai Campground’s first campsite? The highest in the area, Mooney Falls is 200 feet tall. Named after a miner named D.W. “James” Mooney who died there in a climbing accident in 1882.
It’s a comparatively short hike to the falls and veteran visitors can assure you that it is worth the trip. The falls are just gorgeous. Visit the falls in the summer months and you will enjoy cooling off here.
Enjoy the falls and the rugged red rock formations too. Mooney Falls is a favorite spot though especially for travelers who enjoy hiking. Mooney Falls is secluded, relaxing, and a lot less crowded than many other swimming holes.
