Havasu Falls, Turquoise waterfall in Grand Canyon, United States.
The 120-foot Havasu Falls cascade into a mineral-rich blue-green pool surrounded by red limestone cliffs and natural travertine formations.
The Havasupai tribe has maintained continuous residence in this section of the Grand Canyon for over 800 years, protecting these sacred waters.
The name Havasupai translates to 'people of the blue-green waters,' reflecting their deep connection to these mineral-rich falls.
Access requires an advance permit, an 8-mile hike from Hualapai Hilltop, and mandatory overnight camping or lodge accommodation in Supai Village.
The high calcium carbonate content constantly reshapes the waterfall, sometimes splitting it into multiple streams and creating new limestone formations.
Location: Havasupai Indian Reservation
Part of: Havasu Creek
