We just returned from visiting the Havasupai Reservation. We were there July 6 through July 10. I went there when I was 15 or 16, and am now 54. I went with my husband and two adult daughters. After reading the reviews, I was a little concerned that we might not be in for such a good time. Boy, was... more

We had mixed feelings about this trip. Scenery and waterfalls are amazing. However, the rest sort off kills your trip. Be warned/informed so you know what to expect and you will be fine. The hike down is long, hot and rough terrain. If you are not fit, you may want to choose another way down. Also the trail is not... more

At the end you will see why I gave this experience an "Above Average" rating. First: The hike in. Its 10 miles of absolute HELL! My group made the hike in at 11pm, so I cant exactly say the trip was gorgeous and rewarding. I can, however, say that I was severely dehydrated and carrying WAY too much in my... more

The village is clearly a hell hole and the people seem unfriendly and unhappy, but I was not. I smiled and said hello to everyone regardless of there stand-offish behavior. The hike to the falls in mid... more

Yes, its a litle funky down on the rez. Its not the National Park, so don't expect a pristine wilderness experience. But the location makes it worth everything else, including some pretty grueling hiking if you do it wrong! (Wrong is: leaving the campground to hike out in the summer at 7AM. You should leave around 3:30 or 4am to... more

Entering Supai Village you immediatly realize you have entered an area not unlike a third world country. Although the falls are the most beautiful I have ever seen, it is important to know the dangers before you take this trip. Backpacker Magazine, June 2007, has a great article on the crime and hazards of this area. I traveled with 3... more
