Plan Your Trip

Located in northern Arizona, Havasupai is one of the most remote destinations in the continental United States. It’s 10 miles on foot or by horse from a canyon-rim trailhead that’s 60 miles off old Route 66. Arm yourself with essential information, including when to go, what to pack, what to expect on the trail, and more.

Experience the Culture

The Havasupai call the canyon their grandmother. Its various layers, especially the red rocks, have special significance for them. The rocks of the canyon protect the Havasupai and their way of life. Since the Havasupai are the only natives living inside the canyon, they regard themselves as the guardians of the canyon and all that lies below the rim.

Enjoy the Scenic Beauty

In this canyon paradise, color, form, and light create a scenic palette with unmatched appeal: red canyon walls, deep-green cottonwoods, a cloudless desert sky, pearlescent limestone, and iridescent shades of aquamarine that bounce off glistening water.
