Reavis Falls, Seasonal waterfall in Arizona
Reavis Falls is a waterfall in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona that drops over 190 feet into a rocky pool below. The cascade is surrounded by steep canyon walls, with ferns and moss framing the cliff face where water pours down.
The waterfall was named after Reavis Ranch, a settlement that existed in this remote mountain region. The area was inhabited by the Sinagua, an ancient culture whose presence is marked by pottery fragments and ruins found along the trail.
The hike starts at Reavis Ranch Trailhead and covers roughly 13 miles round trip with a steep, rocky descent into the canyon. Bring plenty of water, sturdy boots, and a map or GPS device, as the route becomes faint in places and navigation can be challenging on loose terrain.
The waterfall only flows after heavy rain or rare snowfall and can disappear entirely during dry periods, making each visit dependent on recent weather conditions. This variability means that seeing it at full strength is a memorable event that few visitors experience.
