ugly & beautiful
An amazing place marred by a few disgusting facts. The campground is far too crowded (250 people per night on weekends during spring & summer, usually) and the outhouses are the worst I've ever seen, anywhere. The fees have just been greatly increased $35/person entrance fee + $17/night per person camping fee...and such now border on extortion.
That being said, this place is GORGEOUS. Havasu & Mooney are two of the best swimming holes in the whole country. It's a journey unlike any other in the state. If more people respected this place and it was cleaned up a bit, it would be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Been done here many times, the first being when I was about ten years old and the latest being in on a private river trip in Jan of 2008. Each time I go I tell myself I won't come back--the place is getting trashed and more and more crowded--but the allure keeps bringing me back anyway. With an easy hike, good campgrounds (besides the outhouse situation) and of course, the water, Havasupai will always attract people looking for a laid back, unprimitive trip into the Grand Canyon.

down on Friday - up and out on Saturday
I hiked in and out from Hualapai Hilltop with my two sons Lance and Travis. We swam at Mooney Falls, Havasu Falls, and Navajo Falls. Rex Hardy accompanied us with his brother and his friend. Also with us were Michael Cureton and his son Cody, and Evan Smith.
That is the question I am always asked when family and friends look at my trip photos. I have been down there several times with scouts. Great trips and great memories.

paradise
On a 4-day trip, hiked down to the Colorado River from the Hualapai Hilltop, passing and photographing magnificent waterfalls along the way. One of the most beautiful places on Earth.
