"These falls, located within the Havasupai Indian Reservation in the southwest corner of Grand Canyon National Park, attract visitors thanks to their bright blue and green waters and the surrounding travertine rock formations. While visiting the falls requires a permit and more than an eight-mile hike in each direction, that hasn't stopped tens of thousands of tourists from traveling here annually to admire the location's beauty. Keep in mind that you'll need to make reservations well in advance." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"The beauty of Havasu Falls needs little explanation. The waterfall topples off fiery red rock and drops into a turquoise pool that is so bright it looks fake. It is a site people have traveled from all over the world to see and photograph — and after it closed in March 2020 for the pandemic and subsequent flooding, traveler hype has only increased." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Set within Havasupai Indian Reservation, the magical blue-green waters of remote Havasu Falls draw thousands of spiritual seekers and shutterbugs annually.

"People of the Blue-Green Waters There’s a reason this is one of the most iconic spots along the Grand Canyon. Located on the Havasupai Indian Reservation and hidden deep within a 20-mile round-trip hike, Havasu Falls’ sparkling turquoise waters are a popular destination for seasoned hikers who come for the amazing views, rock climbing, and swimming. The hike to the falls and back is bestenjoyed with a preplanned route and plenty of stops for rest, food, and water. Because tribe members of the Havasupai, which means "people of the blue-green waters," maintain the trails and work to keep their land as unspoiled andpristine as possible, reservations for campsites are limited and day hikes and dronesare not allowed."
