After Zion our group got split and 4 of us went on to Havasupai to backpack down into that amazing place. On the drive there, we stay the night camped next to a water tower in the middle of a field. The stars were awesome and Marty let me use his wide angle lense to capture the shot. The sunrise was spectacular and went on for many minutes.
The hike into Havasupai is not a hard, and is only 8 miles to the Supai village and 2 more to the campground. (I could see it being a miserable hike if its extremely hot.) Its quite amazing having all that greenery in the middle of the Grand Canyon with a aqua colored creek flowing through it with majestic water falls. The flat bread was a delight to eat every day. We decided that taking a helicopter ride out would be an experience to not miss. It took 3 hours waiting around the heli-pad before we boarded. It was still worth it. haha!
After Havasue we drove to Page, AZ and dropped off Marty and Lorelei. John and I went on to attempt Buckskin Gulch. Well the attempt was not good as we did not have the proper gear for wading in cold water.
Just a few good views we beheld as we drove back...
And so concludes another awesome Southwest trip with great mates. I highly recommend going there to anyone that wants something different from the great outdoors :)
