Havasu Canyon

Havasu Canyon, part of the larger Havasupai Indian Reservation, is situated in the southwestern region of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The canyon is renowned for its breathtakingly blue-green waterfalls, including Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls, and Beaver Falls, which draw thousands of visitors annually. Rich in both natural beauty and cultural history, this area has been home to the Havasupai people for centuries. The unique color of the water is due to the high concentration of calcium carbonate dissolved in the creek, creating an inviting contrast against the stark red canyon walls. The canyon provides exceptional opportunities for hiking, camping, photography, and experiencing the native Havasupai culture. Access is restricted and requires a permit, presenting a challenge that is rewarded with scenic vistas, geological wonders, and serene landscapes that are largely untouched by modern development.
