Added by Andrew Hoang

Want to cliff jump at Havasupai but not down to jump 125 footers? This is the perfect place to get 40-60 foot jumps in!

Coming from the campground, you'll want to backtrack back towards Navajo and Fifty Foot falls, crossing the bridge that you came over coming into the campground. Continue on the trail until you see a picnic table with a small canopy with a big piece of tarp/burlap hanging from the front. Go past it, hug the rocks to the left and continue down towards the river. You'll have to get your feet wet, but there's somewhat of a defined trail. Continue to hug the rocks to your left until you see the falls. At this point, you'll have to cross the water over to your right. From there, there are 3 spots you can dive from, 30 feet, 40 feet, and 60 feet. At 60 feet, you'll want to jump far outwards as there are rocks directly underneath you. It's pretty deep, so don't worry about it and enjoy!

This waterfall is not as well known as all of the other major falls along Havasu Creek so there are generally less crowds. You can't see it from the trail so many people walk right past it. Great spot to cliff jump. It's also worth noting, that a permit is required to visit Havasupai so you can't just show up and hike. The hike to the village of Supai is 8 miles from the rim and roughly 9 miles to this waterfall.

I loved Havasupai! This was such a great experience! I would second his advice to bring water shoes! I had running shoes as well but the river is right along most of the hikes so it's really fun to have shoes like Teva's where you can just jump in at any time.

Navajo Falls

Navajo Falls is a gem that resulted from the flash flood that tore through Havasu Canyon in August of 2008. Although this flash flood forever changed the landscape of the canyon, it created a fantastic spot for travelers to enjoy in the afternoon and evening when camping at Havasupai Campground. It is a relatively short hike from camp (just over 0.5 mile) and is a great cool down spot to explor...

Beaver Falls

So you've made it down to the Havasu campground after a ten mile hike from Hualapai Hilltop - time for more hiking! The 8 mile (RT) trek to Beaver Falls is well worth the trip, and can offer some quieter moments for those looking to escape the busyness of Havasu and Mooney Falls. To start out, head down canyon from the campground towards Mooney Falls. You'll have to descend the wall to get to ...

Mooney Falls

Hiking down to Mooney Falls is a great, short adventure when camping at the Havasupai Campground. Not only that, it is certainly the most adventurous waterfall to reach, requiring travelers to hike down through a menacing passageway cut through the side of the canyon wall by miners at the turn of the 20th century. Descend to the base of Mooney Falls at your own risk; the falls are named after a...

Confluence of the Colorado River and Havasu Creek

Hike: Starting from the Havasupai campgrounds, which is a 10 mile hike in itself from Hualapai Hilltop, the trail goes past Mooney Falls to Beaver Creek for 4 miles. The elevation gain is limited but makes up for difficulty with route finding. Getting to Beaver Falls will require creek crossings at least 4 times. For this hike one must be particularly keen about spotting the faintly drawn trail...

Havasu Falls in the Havasupai Reservation

The Havasupai Reservation is a remote area just outside Grand Canyon National Park, full of blue-green water and dramatic waterfalls. Despite being an extremely isolated location, camping in the canyon is overwhelmingly popular and reservations are required. On popular weekends you will be sharing the campgrounds with hundreds of others but shoulder seasons can bring some respite. The trail ...

Thunder River Loop

Considered one of the canyon’s most challenging and awe-inspiring paths, the loop is a must for people looking for hard-earned big rewards. Jaw-dropping vistas, tumbling waterfalls, towering rock walls, ancient fossils and the mighty Colorado create an incomparable backcountry experience.You start at the “50 Switchbacks”, head to Tapeats Amphitheater, camp along the Colorado River and then head...
