Start planning your next outdoor trip to Arizona. Major natural attractions are about to reopen to tourists. Havasupai Falls, including the incredible blue stream of Havasu Falls, will officially reopen to visitors on February 1, 2023.
Havasupai Falls above At the western edge of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim, the Havasupai Reserve is a protected native site. The 295-square-mile reservation, including its central Supai Village, is accessible only by 8-mile trek, on foot or by horseback. Known to be incredibly photogenic and awe-inspiring to watch, this voyage makes him one of the most difficult to secure national park reserves.
Seeing the brilliant blue waterfalls is the highlight of many visitors’ voyages to the Grand Canyon and often requires at least an overnight stay at a camp or riverside lodge. Havasupai management siteReservations are highly coveted and often sell out months in advance.
Beginning February 1st, all hikers must obtain a permit to visit the reserve. This is an 8-mile hike in each direction from the top of the Grand Canyon. The campground is an additional 2-mile hike and must be reserved in advance. Permit costs are $100 Monday through Thursday and $123 Friday through Sunday.
To win a reservation, visitors must create an account online and check availability each morning.
To help tourists plan their visit to Havasupai Falls, the tribe suggests following their Facebook page, Havasupai Tribe Tourism.
When Havasupai Falls closed in March 2020 to protect the health of tribe members, the disruption to tourism was not intended to last three years. On October 1, 2022, severe flooding destroyed several bridges and trails. This not only disrupted community life, but also made it difficult for visitors to reach the area. Restoration work is now well underway, allowing permit holders to once again see the beauty of the backwaters.
The Havasupai Tribe posted in a note, “This has been a trying experience for all involved and we appreciate your patience as we navigate this transition. But there are many positives as a result.” “You may see fallen trees on the flood-swept roads, but the flora and fauna are thriving, and you’ll also see new waterfall streams. This really is the perfect time to visit, and we’re really into tourism.” Please know that our guests are eager to come back to us.Beautiful booking.”
