Havasu Falls Pictures

Ugh! I don’t have any pictures of the falls up yet! I so miss the beauty and warmth of the place. Like it or not, winter is here. At least I have the pictures and videos...

Shaky iPhone video in the canyon
Water!
On the left is the Havasupai convenience store. Who would have though you would find a place with ice cold pop (God it was good!) and ice cream sanwiches 6 miles into a hike to nowhere. Actually, the village has another store, motel and a restaurant. There is also a school and post office.
The new Navaho Falls
A major flood came through last spring and did some major damage to the area.
Time to find a camp spot
Camp Martinez...

After a long hot hike, the cool spray of the water was so invigorating!
Next we’ll head down to Moonie Falls...

More Havasu Falls (part 2)

Here are a few more pictures from the trip to Havasu Falls. I hope to use a few of the shots I took on the trip in backgrounds. Maybe in a week or two I will post up a few examples.
Old Route 66
The Havasu Hilltop was the base camp for the descent into the canyon. The Helicopter would fly in and out every once in a while.
Inacio and I were the last to head down. My brother Lee was racing down to get a good camp spot. I ended up going back up after a few hundred yards to get my GPS to get a map of the trail and record my time. I started back down the second time and wondered if I had locked my car doors. -So I headed back up again and they were locked. I took a while, but I caught back up with Sadie and Inacio.
Looking back up the hill. I believe the bulk of the descent was 2 miles.
I caught up to some people and had them shoot a picture with the beautiful canyon in the background.
Two or three miles in, there was a sign saying stay out of here during rain storms. It was a flash flood area.
The 1st Cactus
One last file for today. A movie of a mule train. Some of them fly up and down and you have to get the heck out of the way. I'll post more of the videos on my YouTube channel when I have more time.

Havasupai Falls Trip

I finally got a few minutes last weekend to look through some of the pictures and videos from the trip to Havasupai Falls by the Grand Canyon. It was a blast except for the 2500 miles of driving. Actually the drive south through Utah, Arizona and Nevada was beautiful. Most of the following pictures were taken with my iPhone.
The land looks like its out of a road runner cartoon
The Hoover Dam was a sight to see. Such a massive structure. They are building an overpass so that cars will no longer go over the dam.
Inacio, one of the hiking team. -Also an excellent brewer of beer.
We stayed at the Cavern Inn Motel the first night. We packed and repacked the backpacks. It was sort of a "do or die" on what we would take with us on the 10 mile hike into the canyon.
It's getting late so I will post more of the trip tomorrow...
