Havasupai Canyon, considered by many one of the most beautiful places on the planet is a tributary to the Colorado River. With turquoise water, clay cliffs, 200 foot waterfalls, and natural pools, it insures an increasable destination for Thanksgiving Break. We will backpack 10 miles into the Supai campground and then spend our break dayhiking and exploring one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The hike into and out of the Supai campground is rated as moderately difficult, while the dayhikes around the falls will generally be less challenging.
