Havasu Falls is located on the top of the bulldozers list of many hikers of the first time they see a picture of the water blue water that expands below the red rock walls in the crystal pool below.

Continue reading to know the best nine tips for hiking in the Havasu Falls.
TIP 1: Get a Havasu Falls permission early
Tip 2: Think about staying in Havasupai Lodge
You can also reserve rooms in Havasupai Lodge that is located in the remote Supai village. It is located along the creek between Havasu Fols and Moni Vols, their rooms. Lodge (2025 prices) reservations are $ 2,277 per lodge room – up to four people, 3 nights, but each room has two Queen beds, so you can divide the cost between friends. It is comfortable and has heating units and AC in the rooms. If you are interested in staying in The Lodge, you need to wait to open to guests on June 1, 2019.
Certainly, it is costly but you sleep in a bed and eat in the village in the village. There is also a small market in the village. Both accept credit cards. This allows you to have to package most camping and travel supplies very light.
Tip 3: Plans to spend the night near the beginning to get an early start
The hot and dry Arizona bars can cut the power of experienced hikers. Of course, you will not hunt an experienced traveler heading down the valley at today's temperature. They would start under the cold morning, or even dark hours before dawn. The height begins at the top of Haulapai Hilltop, which is 30 miles on a dead end to a deserted extension of the 66th road. There is only two options about the property: Grand Canyon Caverns, Peach Springs, or Kingman.
Tip 4: Enjoy the height down
With any luck, your shoes will bomb the earth when the first light rays shine on the haulapai hilltop. Trail Download begins with a set of switches. You are zigzag, fall and impressive, sweeping red rocks. As much as you can see your eyes, the landscapes are broken by the grooves that were carved with the water in the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River for several centuries. The appearance of the switch stops, but the hill continues, such as Run Run, which falls you in a dry Kreik bed around 2000 “under the head of the corridor.
Soon after the Haulapia Canyon walls around you, you realized that this would have led to a good rise in itself. From time to time, I noticed green cotton wood trees extracting water from the depth of dry creek. You can say that the water approaches the surface, because the trees increase and closer together. By that time from the valley, there is a small meager of water that leaks over the rocks. Busty is a stream and much less water. Only when you begin to doubt the possibility of Havasu, it comes out to the Havasu Creek flowing with beautiful, cold and cold water and lined with lush cotton wood trees.
Tip 5: Take a helicopter to the top of the Havasu Falls
Helicopter charges for one person and include your packages. They accept money or credit, but they impose additional fees by 10 % on the use of credit. It is a magic trip 10 miles, 5 minutes to the top. I am highly recommended. Keep in mind that most of the camp is planning to give the helicopter. In fact, although the helicopter begins to run at approximately 9:00 am, most people begin to climb in the village of Sobay around 7:00 am. The list comes first, service first. The members of the Supai tribe always gets the ride first, then goes to the list. Note that the helicopters in Sobay, which are still two miles away from the camp.
Tip 6: Let the mule take your door
If you want to travel as light as possible, you can send your heavy equipment down in front of you to the CampGRound Havasu Falls. You just need a water package and some snacks of the hiking, (good shoes and long -distance socks is necessary as you will walk on pebbles for long periods of time). The tribe provides mules for the least heavy beams and easily drop them at the base of the camps. The mules cost $ 400 back and forth (2025 prices) and can decrease 4 packages, each of which does not weigh more than 40 pounds.
Tip 7: Take side trips
Let's face it. Even if you use a mule, you have worked on the donkey to reach the Havasu waterfalls. It would be a shame to leave quickly. However, every flight below Canyon begins with Moony Falls.
Advice 8: Perfect Havasu Falls
I would like to recommend to attend Thursday or Friday and return on Sunday. Why Sunday? Because the Air West helicopter operates on Sunday from Supai Village. By the end of the trip, it is possible that it has risen more than 30 miles and is likely to be very tired. Taking a helicopter from the Supai Village to the Hualapai Hilltop (10 miles) will look very attractive by that time. Jin Coleman does not agree on this point. She was wandering around and outside as she carried her package in both directions with the new titanium knee and the other needed to replace it. Something about the adventure of the old school, finishing what begins, and your children remain outside the garden.
The weekends are the excellent days to be in Havasu Fols, so be sure to get Bonto's permits!
Tip 9: When do you go to the Havaso Falls?
Each season offers something special at Havasu Falls. Winter months offer easier permits, a cold -distance gathering weather (be careful in camping on top of the hill), and the least crowd. You have to be careful of the summer heat. Make sure you get an early start, carry a sufficient amount of water, and travel quickly enough so that it is not caught at the heat of the day. However, long days leave a lot of time to play in these wonders and heat makes blue and green very beautiful. Spring and autumn provides the best long -distance walking weather and most days warm enough for a little water.
