From Tuesday through Friday I felt like I was in another world. The trip to the falls at Supai Indian reservation was awesome! We saw so much beauty and the pictures don't begin to do it justice. We started down the trailhead around 10 am on Wednesday morning. It is an 8 mile journey to the Supai village where we would reside for two nights. The first 1-2 miles were switchbacks, getting down the mountain. After that we walked the canyon floor for 6 miles. What goes down MUST come up, so we knew in 2 days we would be climbing up those switchbacks! But, we didn't dwell on that fact while we were there. :-) We got to our lodge around 1 pm. After all 16 women were safely at the lodge Sharon, Jan and I and 5 others ventured 2 more miles to view our fist look at Havasu Falls. Words cannot describe our feelings when we saw it.......if you are in the area and feel like walking about 30+ miles in three days, I would recommend this hike. You would NOT regret it. May I suggest you train a bit beforehand, though. :-) I always said that before one leaves this planet they should raft down the Colorado River on the rapids through the Grand Canyon. This ranks right up there, both are a once in a lifetime experience.
