Havasupai

So I got to go to Havasupai a few weeks ago. I have wanted to do that for years, so I was really excited when the opportunity came up. So excited that I went with about 20 people I don't really know. I slept in a hammock and had to protect my food from fearless squirrels-it was incredible (Havasupi, not those other things ;0) 

The hike in is 10 miles. Should I pretend I am tough and backpacked in? Nahhh... cause you all know I would way rather pay $25 for a donkey to pack my stuff. So I did. *For the record I still hiked, just not carrying all of my stuff. 
My first glimpse of the Grand Canyon 



Havasu Falls

This was in the middle of our campground.


Navajo Falls (before it started raining)

Proof that I was actually there and that these images didn't come from Google.


I scrambled down this a few times on the way to Beaver and Mooney Falls.

I added eating cactus to my bucket list. So if anyone knows how to prepare cactus... lemme know.



Navajo Falls

Okay, so I didn't actually take the following photo. This one did come from Google. But I hiked 16 extra miles to see it. So I am showing you. 

I did this hike by myself. (No one else wanted to come.) It was seriously so cool to just sit here and watch these two rivers come together. Thanks Lisa for the tip.

So cool!!!! That you're brave enough to go with people you don't know and hike alone. Was this your first trip to the Grand old Canyon?

Lori I have been there a few times and I am still surprised to see the color of that water. It looks like you got one of the prime camping spots. Seriously, I am so glad you got to go and that you had a good trip.

I am not sure you were actually there, you are pretty good with Photoshop and all.
