Havasupai
I just returned from a few days at Havasupai in Arizona. Set deep in the red cliffs of the Grand Canyon and famous for its waterfalls and travertine pools with blue green water, Havasupai is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I was able to hike to the Colorado River and to the major waterfalls in the area. While birding wasn’t my primary interest in the canyon, I was captivated by seeing several great blue heron and a Bullock’s oriole. July is a great time to enjoy the pools, but the temperatures in excess of 100°F made daytime hiking difficult. I look forward to returning in the spring and fall.
Havasupai offers some great outdoor adventure in a splendid setting. For those interested in Havasupai, watch for Steve Hirst's book I Am the Grand Canyon, coming out in November 2007. Based on what I know about the author and his previous work among the Havasupai, it should provide some outstanding insights into the history and culture of these keepers of the Canyon.
