Hike Havasu Canyon - June 19 - 25, 2014

There are no better words better to explain Havasu Canyon than a hidden jewel of the southwestern U.S!  Our adventure begins in Las Vegas.  If we have time before our drive to Havasu, we will hike Red Rock Canyon, where Mother Nature worked 600 million years to create a uniquely beautiful land: its red stone brightens under a deep-blue, cloudless sky in the state of Nevada.&nbsp We get up early the next day to drive to Hualapai Hilltop where we begin our hike to the extravagant Havasupai Waterfalls.  This trail carves through a narrow canyon as we make our way to the Supai Village in Havasupai.

Our trek into Havasu Canyon, a paradisiacal gorge at the western edge of the Grand Canyon, where turquoise waters cascade into travertine pools in an extraordinary setting of towering red sandstone cliffs beneath a cerulean sky.  The canyon is home to the Havasupai  (“people of the blue-green waters”) Indian Nation.  Havasu Canyon is accessible only by an 8 mile roundtrip hike.  A second night at the Havasupai Lodge will allow us to hike to the magnificent waterfalls of Supai Valley.  Overnight in inns and lodges.  Daily hiking 8-10 miles.  Elevation gain of 1000 feet and elevation loss of 1000 feet.

Staying two nights at the Indian Reservation gives us time to discover the Indian culture and also play in the falls!
 

Upon leaving the reservation, we will ascend from the canyon, and spend one night in Peach Springs again before we drive back to Las Vegas.  On our way to Las Vegas, we will spend the day at Hoover Dam and tour this historic landmark before we continue to Las Vegas and we sadly end our adventure and leave for home.

Planned Vacations, What a Concept !

Sure, there are maps and tour guides and the Chamber of Commerce, but wouldn't it be nice if we had trips already planned and we knew what we wanted to do at those locations by others recommendations. I have been leading vacation trips with OutsideNE and the Appalachian Mountain Club for over ten years.

Hope you are able to go on one of these trips and add some information! Happy Vacations and Weekends!
