Havasupai Pictures - Home of Havasu Falls - Legacy Images Photography

Havasupi is the name of a famous location that includes the world renowned Havasu Waterfall located in the Grand Canyon. It is very remote, about 10 miles from the trail head and requires a permit to get to from the local Havasu Indian Tribe.

The hike in is hot and dusty especially in the summer. You start out from the trailhead which is on the top of one of the walls in the Grand Canyon. You hike down switchbacks for a mile or so and then hike the rest of the way in to the falls. For a fee, you can pay to have your pack brought in by donkey/mule or for an even higher fee, you can ride a helicopter into the canyon.

The water contains high doses of lime, which causes the water to be incredibly blue. as you can see from the pictures.

I had a chance to hike in to this beautiful place with world renowned guide and author Greg Witt. We spent a couple of days in the area while I took photos and he documented the area for his book, Exploring Havasupai: A Guide to the Heart of the Grand Canyon. Many of my pictures are included in this book including an image of me standing in the water photographing the falls.

Greg is a wonderful guide and even better friend and if you get the chance to attend one of his hikes in the US or in Europe, you will want to jump at the chance! His website for his European hikes is http://www.alpenwild.com/

The time I spent in Havasupai was amazing! Greg and I hiked the entire canyon and were able to take pictures of all of the falls, including Havasu Falls, Moony Falls, and Navajo Falls. Several years ago, there was a flash flood that rerouted where the river flowed through the canyon. Water no longer flows in the area where Navajo Falls existed, so that waterfall no longer exists.

Havasupai is a great trip and well worth the time and effort to hike in and out to see the waterfalls in this beautiful section of the Grand Canyon!
