Havasu Falls in the Havasupai Reservation
Supai, Arizona
4.7
10.4 mi
/ 1647 ft gain
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.

Horseshoe Bend
Williams, Arizona
4.7
1.52 mi
/ 157 ft gain
Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona is classic bucket list material and for good reason. Even if they don’t know what it’s called or where it is, everyone has seen this famous spot somewhere. Rest assured; pictures cannot convey the massive scale of this place. From your vantage point 1,000 feet above the Colorado River, the deep blue of the water starkly contrasts with the carved sandstone walls m...
Grand Canyon: Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim
North Rim, Arizona
4.7
45.6 mi
/ 10141 ft gain
Day 1
Start at the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park at the North Kaibab Trail. You have 14 miles and 5,761 feet of elevation to descend to the Bright Angel Campground, so bring those trekking poles if you have bad knees (like myself).
Along the North Kaibab Trail a few noteworthy trail markers are the Supai Tunnel, Roaring Springs, the Pump House Ranger Station, and the Cottonwood Camp...
Devil's Bridge Trail
Sedona, Arizona

Supai, Arizona

5.28 mi
/ 1200 ft gain
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 ...
Cibecue Falls
Gila County, Arizona
4.3
2.94 mi
/ 600 ft gain
It is a bumpy ride down an old dirt road to get to the trailhead. Use extreme caution on this road as there are very narrow sections with sheer cliffs. The road follows along the Salt River giving you a nice viewpoint of the Salt River Canyon. On your way in you will pass the campgrounds (First and Second Campgrounds), just make note of this if you plan on spending the night. A few feet before ...
