Description
So you've made it down to the Havasu campground after a ten mile hike from Hualapai Hilltop - time for more hiking! The 8 mile (RT) trek to Beaver Falls is well worth the trip, & can offer some quieter moments for those looking to escape the busyness of Havasu & Mooney Falls. To start out, head down canyon from the campground towards Mooney Falls. You'll have to descend the wall to get to the base of Mooney, which can be an adventure all by itself. The trail heads down steeply, & at most times almost vertically - comprised solely of various bolts, chains, & ladders to aid in your descent. Do not attempt this section in inclement weather! Wild Grape Vines of Supai. Once you've made it down to Mooney, take a breath & enjoy the feel of having two feet on solid ground again. Stop & explore the pools around Mooney, but head back towards the path you came down on to find the trail to Beaver Falls. The trail hugs the western wall of the canyon & heads northwest from there. Quickly after starting out, you'll notice a network of ladders that reach half-way up the canyon wall to your left - the caves in the wall are a historic burial site for the Havasupai people. As incredible as they are, please keep your distance & admire from afar. The trail will soon lead you down to Havasu Creek, where you'll meet your first water crossing of the trip. There are wobbly narrow bridges at the first crossing if you want to stay dry for this portion, but you can also walk across the creek just downstream to get to the other side where the trail continues. Once across, climb up the bank & keep heading northwest. After continuing on for a short while, you'll come to your second water crossing - you can't avoid getting your feet wet at this one! After the second water crossing, you'll wander through some incredible open areas of the canyon, overgrown with wild grape, & pass a lot of prickly pear & barrel cactus. Views looking down over the creek abound. You'll encounter one more water crossing, this one with a small bridge if you need it. Continuing on, you'll notice something very strange around the bend - a date palm tree. Legend has it that a visitor in the 1970s was eating dates & threw his seeds on the ground, & eventually the tree took root!
