Havasupai, 2001

 

The water in Havasu Canyon contains a high concentration of limestone which gives it a strikingly beautiful turquoise color.  Only a twelve mile hike from the trailhead, the campgrounds are located among a series of gorgeous waterfalls, and wading pools.

On the left hand side of Navajo falls there is a small cave with a mini-waterfall inside (see the picture above).  At the base of the cave on the left side (where you can barely see my head in the picture above) there is a pocket of perpetually warmer water.  You can climb up into the cave and get a nice back massage from the mini-waterfall.  Nice!
