Might have to add that to my list this year. @awcopeland what all did you pack for this?
my wife and i have been slowly planning to try to get down and do Havasu, looks absolutely beautiful
awesome man, i appreciate the suggestions and information. we are definitely going to do it i just want to do it sooner than later hahaDo it! It’s great scenery. For $100 you can catch a helo out and save yourself the 10 mile pack out lol.
Start your hike in around 3:15-3:30 in the morning. You’ll beat the heat and get first dibs on available camp spots along the creek. A huge plus.
FYI, they still do the covid crap with masks if you go in the restaurant in the village. And overall, the locals are NOT friendly.
Other than that it’s a blast.
And skip the hike to the Colorado River. Not worth the 14 mile round trip and eats up the entire day.
There are big horn sheep that live in the canyon around beaver falls. Everyone we talked to saw them. Except us. lol
The best waterfalls for swimming wading are between the village and Mooney falls.
Beaver falls is worth the hand full of miles for sure.
Get the fried bread. It’s pretty good!
The night sky in the canyon is incredible. But go before first week of June bc it gets hot and takes a while to cool off at night.
Start your hike out around 3:30 am headed out to again beat the sun/heat!

We did Havasupai at the end of March. Had perfect conditions, cool at night and nice during the day. Very cool mini adventure.

You certainly cheated death on that one with all the mysterious illness and death going on in that country latelyMy pregnant wife and I just did Havasu falls in Arizona. 12 miles first day. 14 the second, 7 the third and 10 the 4th. Add in the walking around camp and fractional miles and we did just about 50 while swimming in 60 degree water and waterfalls. It’s a hella awesome experience!

Did you get down to the confluence with the Colorado? That was my favorite part.

I started with a 30lbs pack.Might have to add that to my list this year. @awcopeland what all did you pack for this?
I once helped some friends that killed elk back to back days. The second elk was 7 miles from the truck. We started packing out around 7pm IIRC and got back to camp around midnight. I had to work the next day so, I only helped with the first load. Made it home in time to shower and head straight to work. It was a suck fest but I’d do it again every year for the memories.Some of those meat packouts have felt like a death hike….
I think my worst was either that Kalalau valley trail coming out carrying both my pack and my buddy who wrecked his knee
Or the 26 total miles meat packout (13miles 2x) towing a pack horse with only a little bit of elk meat in our packs. Going in that far sounded good until we had 2 elk down…
