	Voted 10/10	I haven't been all the way to Beaver falls, but the water in the Havasu creek really is that blue green color, due to the high mineral content.

	Voted 10/10	As I said, I've never hiked all the way to Beaver Falls, but when I was in Havasu Canyon, the walls struck as pretty red (or orangy) depending on the time of day and lighting conditions . . .
