Lava Falls Trail

Toroweap Overlook can be accessed via Country Road #109, 8 miles west of Fredonia, AZ. It's about a two hour drive along a dirt road, with the final stretch becoming much more technical over larger rocks (a truck with high clearance is recommended). Tuweep Campground is the only area you're allowed to stay out here and you'll need a backcountry permit from NPS ahead of time. Once you make it t...

There are a number of ways to access Tuweep – and all access moves from the north to the south as you make your way toward the campsites. The most reliable road is Country Road #109 (a dirt road), which begins about eight miles west of Fredonia, Arizona. It’s also known as the Sunshine Route.

Descend to the base of Mooney Falls at your own risk; the falls are named after a...

So you've made it down to the Havasu campground after a ten mile hike from Hualapai Hilltop - time for more hiking!

To start out, head down canyon from the campground towards Mooney Falls. You'll have to descend the wall to get to ...
