Havasupai Falls - Day 1

The day starts with transportation to the trailhead from Flagstaff, Seligman, Williams or Peach Springs. After an early pick-up you will drive through the Hualapai Reservation to Hualapai Hilltop where the real fun will begin. After your guide prepares the gear for the horses to take down you will start off by hiking a set of switch backs for a mile. After that it is a relatively moderate hike with little elevation change. This will continue for five miles until you reach Havasu Creek for a long awaited swim in an extremely clear and mineral rich swimming hole. We will continue on for two miles until you reach the Supai Village where you have the opportunity to grab a refreshing iced drink or even ice cream. In the village they have a Clinic, Market, Post Office and a Cafe. This is one of the only places in the United States that still delivers mail by horseback, so you will also have a chance to send your family and friends an amazing postcard of the beautiful place you are in. For those who choose to sleep in the Lodge you have made it to your sleeping destination, but you still have a one mile hike until you reach the first set of waterfalls. After some photos you will hike on another 300 meters until you reach the great swimming hole of Curtain Falls. Here we like to have lunch and take a leap through the curtain of water pouring down overhead. Following this is the last mile to the campground and one of the most famous falls in the Havasupai Reservation, Havasu Falls. Havasu Falls plunges 100 feet into the most spectacular blue-green swimming hole with a wonderful mist floating through the air to cool you off. Here you will relax the rest of the afternoon while your guide sets up camp and begins cooking a one of a kind dinner where you will dine next to Havasu Creek. Walkabout Adventures is known for their wonderful guides and the meals that they prepare. Meals are very important to hungry hikers and we aim to please. Following dinner you have the opportunity to do some spectacular stargazing while the sound of Havasu Creek puts you to sleep. After a long day and 10 miles, falling asleep is not a hard thing to do on our comfortable sleeping pads.
