Havasu Pie

We went down to Havasu Pie a week ago. If you have not been we would love to go with you! You hike down to the bottom of the grand canyon (10 miles) and then you camp down there for a few days. While you are down there you hike around and swim in all the beautiful waterfalls, and cliff jump, and do rope swings and stuff! It's like a little tropical oasis in the middle of the barren desert! We had a ton of fun, except our packs were SOOO heavy. We'd never really gone "back-packing" before so we didn't exactly know what to expect. We got some of those camping meals (mountain house) and josh didn't think they'd fill him up. So, we ended up carrying down cans of Tamalies, chillie, and litte vienna sausages, homestyle bakes cans etc. Needless to say our hike down was not all fun and games. Our hike back UP was lots better b/c we'd consumed about 15 lbs. of food so our packs were way lighter.

This is how your hike started out, at 5:30 am see how barren everything is?

Then all the sudden these falls pop out of no where! (it's about 150 ft. tall?) This is called Havasu falls.

This was probabally my favorite falls, Navajo falls. you can climb up on top of the falls and jump down into the water below (about 40 ft.) There is also a little cave behind these falls that you can go into.

We went with Josh's sister Christy, her husband Bill, their 11 yr old son Nate and Josh's older brother Lance.

This is called Mooney falls. It's the tallest fall. To get down to it you have to climb down this steep rock face. I was proud of myself b/c I wasn't as scared of it as I normally would be. There is a really fun rope swing at these falls, and there are some other mini falls here that have little caves behind them. In conclusion, I think everyone should visit Havasu!
