Quotes From the Field:
"After a few hours of hiking in the hot morning sun, our group stopped at the base of Havasu Falls, where blue-green water tumbled 100 feet from soaring red rocks into a perfect travertine pool below. We took off our shoes and waded knee deep into the cool water. Standing there at the base of the Falls in the heart of the Grand Canyon, the roar of the water vibrating the earth under our feet, its mist cooling our cheeks, a clear blue sky overhead...it all came together in perfect harmony."

Havasupai - A Grand Canyon Oasis Hiking Vacation
You'll have to hike it to believe it
Not many people know that nestled deep in the Grand Canyon is a hidden treasure: an oasis of lush, spring-fed pools, cascading waterfalls and dense vegetation. It's called Havasu.
Trek along narrow side canyons, through underwater grottos and past gardens of ferns and watercress, pausing to soak up the awe-inspiring overlooks of the Grand Canyon as you make your way to your Havasu base camp, accessible only by foot. Visit the Native American village of Supai, the most remote village in the country, where the U.S. mail still arrives by packhorse. Pause for a dip at the base of the 100-foot Havasu Falls and learn how the native Havasupai have co-existed with nature for generations in such a remote, untouched landscape.
By night, relax in the mineral-rich waters of a natural hot tub before feasting on a delectable dinner and wallowing in the quiet comfort of your deluxe base camp, tucked away against the walls of the Grand Canyon.
