Grand Canyon: Supai and Havasupai


And the next day we started what Luan has been waiting for! Our hike down to Supai heading for Havasupai waterfall.

It was a 10 mile hike down to the camping grounds. We were starting to worry when it started raining and took shelter underneath the rocks, but luckily it stopped and turned out to be the most amazing 3 days we all ever had.

Here we are. And we thought we were really close to the village which is 2 miles from the campground. Surprise....not quite there yet...

The photos don't do justice. It was amazing down here. This is the village where you get your pass to stay at the campgrounds. People actually live here and fiercly protect their privacy. You can't even take photos of them.

On our way down we were passed by donkeys several times. They bring in food and luggage. Some lazy people hike up and down without their backpacks. We felt very sorry for them, but at least they looked well looked after.

So here we are at the campsite, which was right nexto Havasupai (or else know as Luan's) waterfall.

And here it is. The famous waterfall. We heard it roar all night! Look at the colour of that water!


I can't get over the colour of the water. It's the definition of turqouise.
