Martin: Buddhist temples everywhere.
Me: (5/30 hike continued)…
So the 3 of us left Havasu Falls (above) to visit Little Navajo Falls (below).
There are two sections to Little Navajo. You can see the front falls in this photo & the other falls are in the far middle.
The two falls are connected with these emerald green pools.
We walked down the trail & across some rocks.
And in no time we were swimming...
… in PARADISE!
(these are the far falls)
Little Navajo Falls (aka Rock Falls) was formed in 2008 after a horrible flood. The flood caused a lot of damage & many in Supai had to evacuate. It also destroyed the old Navajo Falls. It was interesting to see the changes from 9 years ago. We used to love playing in Navajo Falls but Little Navajo did not disappoint.
It just might be my new favorite place to swim & play!
After about 7 hours of playing at Mooney, Havasu & Little Navajo Falls it was time to hike out of the canyon. We left the village at 3pm & hiked a strong pace to the top.
We reached the rim in 2 hours & 40 minutes from Supai Village. It was a hot hike out, legs were tired and the guys had some pretty good blisters from the day.
BUT, we were happy!! Really stoked the 3 of us pulled this day off.
PS: You can also call us "The Millers"! ;-)
PPS: After the hike we jumped in the car, grabbed a bite in Seligman & drove all the way back to Phoenix (arriving home at 11:30pm). Ouch…took us all day Sunday to recover. Worth it!
Another day of beautiful pictures....I can see why you like this area so much....I can understand why you needed Sunday as a rest day!
