I was updating our Havasu Canyon trip description today. If I ever need a reminder that geology is as constantly changing now as it was a million years ago, this trip provides it. The Canyon's Navajo Falls was one of my favorite places in the U.S., an absolutely spectacular curtain waterfall that seemed unknown to the larger population who visit the Canyon. It was an absolutely magic place to swim, jumping from the walls, standing under pounding water, sitting in travertine concavities and letting the water sweep past. Mooney Falls and Beaver Falls are pretty nice too - actually they are also amazing - but Navajo was the best. Last August one of the periodic flash floods, this one worse than usual, ripped it out. Something will replace it- like everything else the canyon continues to change - but I'll miss it.
