Absolutely stunning and even more amazing in person! The campsites were very nice and the process was pretty easy. The hike was long and tiring and I hike a lot- especially the uphill at the end!! …Full review by Christine F
Hello, I have been to Havasupai 2x's. But this time permit is February 2020, I'm going to hike from Mooney to Colorado River & back 1 of the 3 days down there. So what's the water temp that month? Also the deepest parts is it any deeper than waist level? Last question what is mileage 1 way to river from Mooney. I'm on the waitlist for pack mule. And in case you ask yes I tried to get better months but let's say it was a challenge last Friday. Appreciate your help.
A:
First of all you can google that question and secondly stop using the mules to carry YOUR BACK PACK!!!CARRY YOUR OWN BACK PACK.
We have a tent on our vehicle. Can we drive to the campsite?
A:
Negative. It is a back pack hike down to the falls and campground. Must get permits. Permits open Feb 1. There is a Facebook group havasu falls that you can get all this info.
Is there anyway we can just go to hike to look at the waterfalls and not stay the night on the campground? And if we can how would this be possible?
A:
In short, no. In order to even enter Havasupai territory, you must obtain a permit. The only way to obtain a permit is with an overnight reservation (at either the campground, or the …
In short, no. In order to even enter Havasupai territory, you must obtain a permit. The only way to obtain a permit is with an overnight reservation (at either the campground, or the Lodge at Supai). Reservations for 2018 are sold out. Lodge reservations for 2019 are virtually sold out. Campground reservations for 2019 have not yet opened up, but are fiendishly difficult to obtain. Of course, once you obtain such a permit, no one will physically prevent you from leaving before nightfall. However, that makes little sense. To see the falls involves a ten mile hike (one way), then more hiking around the falls, then another ten mile hike back out. Few people can do this in one day; even fewer would enjoy it.
How long does it take to get a permit? And where can I get one?
A:
The only way to get a permit is with an overnight reservation -- at either the campground, or The Lodge. Reservations/permits sell out long in advance. All reservations for 2018 sold out …
The only way to get a permit is with an overnight reservation -- at either the campground, or The Lodge. Reservations/permits sell out long in advance. All reservations for 2018 sold out long ago. Demand is incredibly high, and reservations are difficult to obtain. (1) Reservations for The Lodge are sold out for 2018, and virtually sold out for all of 2019. Reservations for 2020 will go on sale on June 1, 2019, and are available only via phone (unless things change). (2) Campground reservations for 2019 have not yet opened up. In past years, they opened up on February 1, at 8 am Mountain Standard Time. Demand was so great that dates sold out before some people could even log onto the reservation website. The date may change this year. Go to the official Havasupai website, and there is a link to their reservation website. Go to the reservation website, and you can request to be notified once they decide on the reservations opening date. A final option is to book a tour through a commercial operator. They get the reservation for you -- at a price. Tours typically cost $1,200 to $1,800 per person, for a two or three night stay at the campground. I know little about the individual operators.

The night before we hiked we stayed at a Courtyard Marriott in Kingman,AZ. We checked in at noon (they let us check in early). We slept till about midnight and ate one last full meal at Denny’s before we left and then drove down Route 66 to Indian hwy 18. It took us about 2 hours because the Hwy 18 had tons of wildlife to watch for in road. As soon as we got to park (don’t park near canyon wall-sometimes Rocks fall) we put on our headlamps and started hiking about 3:30am. It was nice and cool the entire hik and got to watch the morning sunrise throughout the canyon!
