Havasu Falls on path to campground - Grand Canyon von Al_HikesAZ

From the travertine, you can see that the falls used to cover this entire face. The flood of 1978(?) knocked 32 feet off the falls and created a channel. The flood of 2008 knocked an additional 8 feet off the falls and removed the old double channel. <a href="http://www.havasupaitribe.com/waterfalls.html" rel="nofollow">www.havasupaitribe.com/waterfalls.html</a> Havasu Falls Havasu Falls (Havasupai: Havasuw Hagjahgeevma[9]) is the second waterfall in the canyon. It is located at 36°15′18″N 112°41′52″W / 36.255°N 112.69778°W / 36.255; -112.69778 (1 ½ miles from Supai) and 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. 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 most of these pools were damaged and/or destroyed in the early 1990s by large floods that washed through the area. A small man-made dam was constructed to help restore the pools and to preserve what is left. There are many picnic tables on the opposite side of the creek and it is very 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. It is interesting to note that the falls were called &quot;Bridal Veil Falls&quot; before the flood of 1910 because they fell from the entire width of the now dry travertine cliffs north and south of the present falls.
