12 Stunning Havasu Falls Photos That Will Inspire Wanderlust
When I first stumbled across photos of Havasu Falls on the internet, I couldn’t believe this stunning place was just 7-8 hours drive from where we live. Scott and I have been dreaming of visiting the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia and yet this place looked just as gorgeous, but to us it was even better because you can swim in the blue-green waters.
Needless to say, we had to go.
We chose a time of year that wouldn’t be excruciatingly hot so that we wouldn’t be miserable hiking the 10 mile trail to and from the campground on Havasupai Reservation. We also choose a time when the moon would be close to full so that we could hike to the falls at night. The nighttime hike didn’t end up happening because we had some pretty intense and scary rainstorms during our stay, but it was still cool to look up at the full moon when the clouds were not covering it.
Three days at Havasu Falls was not nearly enough time to fully enjoy all of the surrounding waterfalls, so we really want to go back.

This is beautiful! Who would have known that a tropical lagoon exists in the middle of a desert!

Isn’t it amazing!? I saw a place just like this in Croatia. I always figured that I would have to travel halfway around the world to see a sight like this. I had no idea that it was sitting right in our back yard.
I have been planning to go there for so long, the next trip I take to AZ I’m going for sure! I think 5 days should be a good amount of time. When did you go exactly? That as such a good idea about going during a full moon.
Those photos are gorgeous! The place looks almost unreal!
Excuse me while I collect my jaw off the ground …
Well done! These photographs are beautiful. It is always amazing what you can find in your own back yard. You’ve made me want to take a visit too! I just may hop in my car and take a road trip!
I cannot get over those colours! So beautiful, great photos, Christy.
Wow. Seriously Gorgeous. Would love to know your settings on that first waterfall shot.
Awesome. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Think that covers it. Would be amazing to swim there, how cold was the water?
I love that you found a pack mule that wanted to model! Those photos are stunning. I’m from the Southwest and had no idea that was there. 🙁 Now I must go…
I heard horses like to walk on the edge, did yours do that?
I never thought about visiting Arizona, but your photos are amazing and give Arizona a different light. =)
These photos are beyond gorgeous! Makes me want to turn around and head back out West ASAP!
Those horses are pretty adorable… and I’m not even that big of a fan of horses!
