This was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacular trip with a Papillon helicopter ride into the Indian Village of Supai in the Grand Canyon. We had the privilege to go on a horse ride with our Indian guide, Mary, with wonderful views down a trail to beautiful Havasu Falls. We swam there in very cold water below the falls, which felt very refreshing after the over-100-degree temperature on the trail. Then we hiked and climbed down to Mooney Falls. To get there, we had to climb down a steep cave and then down a vertical cliff with only chains and a ladder to assist us. Our ten-year-old daughter, Nicole, was a little scared of the climb down, but did better climbing back up. This trip was fairly expensive, but well worth it as one of our most memorable adventures.
