Havasu Falls,
Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, is a waterfall in the Grand Canyon located
1½ miles from Supai, Arizona, USA. It is the most famous and most visited of all the falls on Havasu
Creek and consists of one main chute that drops over a 120-foot (37 m)
vertical cliff into a large pool. The falls are known for their natural pools,
created by mineralization, although the configuration of the falls and the
pools are damaged or destroyed repeatedly by large floods that wash through the
area. A small man-made dam was once constructed to help restore the pools and
to preserve what is left. High calcium carbonate concentration in the water
creates the vivid blue-green color and forms the natural travertine dams that
occur in various places near the falls. There are many picnic tables on the
opposite side of the creek, and it is easy to cross over by following the edges
of the pools. It is possible to swim behind the falls and enter a small rock
shelter behind it.
