Havasu Falls – Near Grand Canyon West

Havasu Canyon is between Grand Canyon West and Grand Canyon South Rim. It is the home of the Havasupai Indians. Havasupai means ‘people of the blue-green waters’. Havasu Canyon is one of the five world-famous blue-green waterfalls: New Navajo Falls, Rock Falls, Mooney Falls, Havasu Falls and Beaver Falls, so it attracts thousands of visitors each year.

People call this place ‘the Garden of Eden’. It is an amazing place, but getting to this oasis in the desert isn’t easy. You should remember to plan your trip well beforehand because you can only go to Havasu Canyon on foot, horseback or by helicopter.

The starting point of the Canyon for riders and hikers is 12-miles from Hualapai Hilltop. When you go up, the view of the canyon is amazing! All visitors thinking about visiting the Havasu Canyon must pay a $35/person entrance fee to the Havasupai Tribe.
