Description: After a series of switchbacks camouflaged under the rim of Havasu Canyon, you’ll find yourself on the canyon floor, surrounded by rising rock and an insistent heat. Each step into the canyon is one away from the world above. Sand, rock, flowers and animals replace society, technology, culture- even thought. Nothing but you and nature exists in this canyon, and the anticipation of meeting the people who live somewhere within it, the Havasupai.
Once immersed in Havasu Canyon, the views are incredible. This is the Grand Canyon you’ve seen pictures of, heard stories about, dreamed you’d see one day. The colors of the rock, red, orange, rust, brown, and pink, contrast against a cobalt blue sky. And that’s just the beginning. The shapes of the canyon walls are equally stunning, and just as diverse. Some rocks balance on tips of other, looking as if they are just about to topple into the canyon. Others are shocking in their smoothness, sloping and curving like the waves of water that may have shaped them years ago. The trail you walk on will be as soft as sand, it’s pink powder will kick up in clouds around your feet. The purple, orange, red, white and pink wildflowers blooms scent the air with sweet desert syrup.
Most of all, you will notice the silence and the wise messages it whispers to you.
