Trip to the Southwest- Havasupai Falls 1 of 2

Then the finale of the trip (nearly two months ago now)-- a 3-night stay on the Havasupai Reservation

 The Grand Canyon rim is very different than the inner canyons (and tributaries)

 White sandstone layers and open skies

 Scrub-like desert plants in rock crevices

 Michelle carrying a heavy load

 Then down into the canyon

 After 6 long miles

 The moon rises

 Canyon walls get larger, sky gets smaller

 Next morning... view from the tent

 Havasu Creek

 Mooney Falls

 Crystal blue waters (limestone-caused) reminded me of southern Thailand

 Unyielding water in an oasis deep into the heart of the desert

 Limestone deposits, cascading over time

Verdant green ferns, deep red rock, aquamarine flowing creek
