Havasu Falls

Havasu Canyon, about 2 miles past Supai village, 10 miles on foot from Hualapai Hilltop · Supai, AZ

Why you should go…

Havasu Falls drops 90 to 100 feet over a cliff into blue-green plunge pools on Havasupai tribal land in the Grand Canyon. The color comes from the high calcium carbonate content of the water. Getting there means an 8-mile hike from Hualapai Hilltop down to Supai village, then about 2 more miles to the falls and campground. Permits are required for all visitors and must be booked before arrival, and every booking is 4 days and 3 nights.

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
