The World's Most Spectacular Waterfalls

Havasu Falls, Arizona

Wow Factor: Despite devastating floods in the Grand Canyon in 2008, these falls in the canyon’s western part remain intact. Owned by the Havasupai Tribe (“People of the blue-green waters”), the Havasu Falls sparkles with azure streams plunging more than 100 feet against red sandstone walls, ending in a pool with a constant water temperature of about 70 degrees—an opportunity for an invigorating mineral-rich bath.

Keep in Mind: Only a limited number of persons may visit Havasu Canyon at a time, and campsites and lodgings can book up months in advance.

Base Camp: In the tiny Native American hamlet of Supai, where all goods are brought in by horseback or helicopter, the Havasupai Lodge offers basic but comfortable rooms.
