Havasu Falls

Havasu Falls (USA)

Havasu Falls is the secondwaterfall in the Grand canyon and it is accessed from a trail on the right side (left side when heading upstream)of the main trail. The side trail leads across a small plateau and drops into the main pool. Havasu is arguably the most famous and most visited of all the falls, and is considered one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world.

 The falls consist of one main chute that drops over a 120-foot (37 m) vertical cliff (due to the high mineral content of the water, the falls are ever-changing and sometimes break into two separate chutes of water) into a large pool. The falls are known for their natural pools, created by mineralization, although mostof these pools were damaged and/or destroyed in the early 1990s by large floods that washed through the area.
