✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟴: ⠀⠀ Bring grip gloves and a microfiber towel. ⠀⠀ If you want to do the hike to Beaver Falls or to the Confluence (or if you just want to get to the bottom of Mooney Falls, pictured), you will need to get down the chains and slippery steps at Mooney Falls. Bring grip gloves, as getting down the rocks is sketchy AF and slipping is the last thing you want to be worried about! ⠀⠀ You’ll also want to bring a microfiber towel if you plan to get in the water. I mean, you’re hiking to one of the most famous swimming holes in the United States, so there’s probably a chance you will get wet! A good microfiber towel is lightweight, quick drying, absorbent and pack into a small space. ⠀⠀ LINK IN BIO for product links and to read all 20 tips, or check my story! . #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Mooney Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CLGPYhcXE/?igshid=bp31wa5saupp

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟳: ⠀⠀ Give yourself extra time to hike out. ⠀⠀ This should go without saying, but no matter how in shape you are in, it will take you longer to hike out than coming in. The last mile+ of the trail is straight up hill, more than 1000 feet in elevation, so the incline will definitely slow you down. ⠀⠀ The day we hiked out, we left camp at 8:30 am and got to Supai around 9:45 (note that our campsite was almost all the way at the end of the campground, near Mooney Falls). We hiked 11 miles total from the camp to the top, climbed bout 2500 ft in elevation and arrived to the top at 1:30. Some of the girls in our group got to the top at 2 pm. ⠀⠀ So, if like us you have a flight back home the evening of your hike out, plan to give yourself about a half hour to an hour more than what it took you to get in. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Havasupai Falls in Supai, Arizona (Supai Indian Reservation)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_r_tihwiD/?igshid=1e24opg6s7vmn

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟲: ⠀⠀ Hire a pack mule… or don’t? 🤔🤔 ⠀⠀ Don’t want to carry all your stuff in or out? Well, there are donkeys for hire if you prefer. Pack mules are available, but must be reserved in advance of your trip. They cost $400 and can carry up to four bags. ⠀⠀ A bit of a warning though: it’s largely frowned upon by the backpacker community to use the pack mules. If you can’t or won’t carry your own shit in and out, well then you probably shouldn’t be backpacking into Havasupai. There are at least a half a dozen accounts here on Instagram advocating for the cessation of horse and pack mule use by the Havasupai people, citing abuse, improper treatment of the animals, and causing deaths. I’m not in this camp because I think the Havasupai people should maintain their autonomy (and therefore be able to do what they’ve been doing for hundreds of years), but I’m just putting the information out there so people can make the decision for themselves and be informed. ⠀⠀ One group we met carried their stuff in and hired pack mules to carry their gear and their trash up the hill on their way out. We also saw a family with young kids (including an infant), who clearly hired the mules to carry their stuff in and out. But if you’re able bodied, you really should be carrying your stuff yourself. ⠀⠀ Put simply: it’s better to avoid hiring the pack mules if you can. Plus, it’s a pretty great feeling of accomplishment when you do pack your own stuff in and out the 20 miles. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @havasupaihorses @stop.abuse.on.havasupai.res @havasupaireservation (at Supai, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89CFKpBfqO/?igshid=1m0mmict9qyy3

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟱: ⠀⠀ Bear cans or Ratsacks. ⠀⠀ Those little critters are CRAFTY. The squirrels, raccoons, mice and other critters are relentless! You’d be surprised what they can get into. They will eat through your gear to get anything scented: food, lip balm, lotion, trash and even wet wipes. ⠀⠀ Don’t forget ropes to string these in the trees and carabiners to easily hang and remove the ransacks each time you retrieve your food. ⠀⠀ Though some leave bear cans behind so they don’t have to carry them out, don’t rely on there being stuff waiting at the camp for you, especially if you are one of the first of the season. There is also no guarantee that on a busy weekend there will be any available. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Havasupai Falls in Supai, Arizona (Supai Indian Reservation)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B86lbFMBWpG/?igshid=1b64l9j395sw

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟰: ⠀⠀ Bring a good headlamp. ⠀⠀ I say “good” headlamp because not all headlamps are created equally. When purchasing a headlamp, take note of lumens, beam type and brightness modes, beam distance, run time and whether or not it is waterproof. ⠀⠀ ▪️ 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀: The term “lumens” is used to quantify the amount of light that is being put out at one time. Headlamps can range from 15 to 500 lumens and more, so the numbers can seem daunting. A headlamp in the 200 range is fine, but if you want a good one, aim for something higher than 300. ⠀⠀ ▪️𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲/𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀: Most headlamps have two beam types: wide and spotlight. Some headlamps also have different modes, which can include any of the following: flashing or strobe for emergencies, different levels of brightness, or red light (which is good when you’re trying not to disturb others). ⠀⠀ ▪️𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: is exactly how it sounds. How far your headlamp will project the light is important depending on the activity you’re engaging in. For hiking or just walking in the dar, beam distance isn’t as important, but if you are cycling or running, for example, it would be. ⠀⠀ ▪️𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: Basically, you don’t want the thing to die on you. Make sure that it will last you a few days without having to change the battery. ⠀⠀ ▪️𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳: If you find yourself having to climb the rocks at Mooney Falls at dark, you will thank yourself for getting a waterproof headlamp, as the spray from the waterfall can get you pretty wet. A waterproof headlamp for Havasupai isn’t necessary, but can be a bonus feature. ⠀⠀ @petzl_official Makes some of the best and most affordable headlamps out there. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 (at Havasupai Trail Head) https://www.instagram.com/p/B84DpPRh2N4/?igshid=1xyoq2flkmxtx

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟯: ⠀⠀ Stay as close to the trailhead as you can the night before. ⠀⠀ We stayed at the Hualapai Lodge, which is about an hour and a half from the trailhead. We got 3 rooms, each with two queen beds to share, for the 12 of us. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were surprisingly nice, actually—much nicer than I had anticipated. We took advantage of the WiFi (with zero service only about an hour into our drive, and the last ability to get connected) and free coffee to go. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Havasupai Falls in Supai, Arizona (Supai Indian Reservation)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B81WUWTBJkJ/?igshid=1aftth6jskkb4

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟮: ⠀⠀ Bring a dual solar lantern and USB charger. ⠀⠀ There are a bunch of different brands who make these, but be sure to bring one of those multipurpose solar lanterns that can charge stuff too. I love this little gadget because it is multipurpose, is lightweight, and is something you end up using more than you think. I have the Luci Pro Outdoor Inflatable Solar Light and mobile charging station by MPOWERD inflates to create a lantern with four functions (bright, brighter, brightest and flashing) and also has a USB charger for your gadgets. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Supai, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yw_vEBipX/?igshid=t9oacn1nbv88

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟬: ⠀⠀ Bring a professional camera or GoPro. ⠀⠀ It would be a shame not to be able to capture the beauty of Havasupai on film or video. I brought a GoPro with me, and I’m glad I did because of all the water. In hindsight, it would have also been worth it to bring my @nikon but I made do with my GoPro Max and my iPhone 11. This photo was shot on my iPhone. ⠀⠀ The photos really don’t do this place justice, so arm yourself with the best camera gear possible. Trust me when I say you will want to document the beauty of this place. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #shotoniphone11promax #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Mooney Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8trvHWhXnN/?igshid=1vx36hu12qhcd

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟵: ⠀⠀ Bring Neoprene Socks. ⠀⠀ This is a pretty important one because of the fact that I said you’ll also need water shoes. Again, you will be going in and out of streams several times on the hikes—sometimes even above the knee—so wearing neoprene socks inside your water shoes helps prevent blisters, keep your feet warm, and allow your feet to feel dry when you’re not in the water. ⠀⠀ I brought an extra silk liner, and used it inside my neoprene socks because they were a little big. This helped prevent blisters and kept my feet comfortable on the 8 mile hike to Beaver Falls and back. You can actually see my neoprene socks and the liner I wore in this photo. It wasn’t very attractive but I sure was comfortable! 😂 ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Mooney Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rI8brh1jP/?igshid=e39exbos4xuw

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟴: ⠀⠀ DEFINITELY use trekking poles. ⠀⠀ Looking back, it’s hard to believe I ever considered not bringing these. The trekking poles completely saved my joints, and I’m 100% certain the hike—both in and out—was made so much easier by using these. ⠀⠀ If you have bad joints or have ever had a knee injury, trekking poles are a must. Because the trek in and out is so steep (2,800 feet in elevation, either up or down!), you’ll need trekking poles to save your knees, hips, quads, glutes and calves. I actually found out I had a torn labrum in my hip the day before we were set to hike out, so I’m thankful I had the trekking poles. They saved my life! ⠀⠀ If you focus on using your arms and your core to propel you forward (or conversely, stop you from going down too fast), it not only helps save your joints but can make your pack feel lighter. I will never do another long hike again without them. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Beaver Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8og599hliV/?igshid=pw0xbxukaabd

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟳: ⠀⠀ Leave the iodine tablets at home. ⠀⠀ Yes, you can drink the water at the camp. There is no need to bring iodine tablets! ⠀⠀ “Fern Spring”, located at the beginning of the campsite, has fresh, drinkable water where you won’t need a filter or iodine tablets. Choose your campsite wisely, as your close proximity to this water source will make your life more convenient. We chose a spot closer to the end by the top of Mooney Falls—which was really quite beautiful and worked well for our large group—but we were nearly a mile away from the water source, which meant many long walks back and forth to the spring. After you’ve hiked 10+ miles in the first day, another 8 to Beaver Falls, and back and forth to Supai, you probably won’t want the extra distance on your feet just to get water. If I go again, I’ll probably choose a spot closer to the beginning of the camp. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls (at Havasupai Campsite) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8l9EhfBrut/?igshid=18zu4hc1bzylt

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟲: ⠀⠀ You need a good pair of hiking boots. ⠀⠀ Well, duh. You obviously need hiking boots. But what’s most important is that you wear comfortable, well-made and well-fitted hiking boots that have been broken in. Since the entirety of the hike coming in is down hill, you will want boots that are about a half size bigger, and big enough so that you can wear a thick wool sock. Something waterproof is recommended and leather is great for durability. Be sure to spend time breaking in before your trip if your boots are new. ⠀⠀ I recently purchased pair of @zamberlan_outdoor Vioz Lux GTX RR Hiking Boots in “Waxed Green”, and they are not only a pretty attractive hiking boot but they are super durable, very comfortable, required little to no break in time, and are clearly well made. They have a price tag to match though: they retail for $345. I took advantage of a holiday sale at @rei and paid about $200 instead, so I got a great deal. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Havasupai Falls in Supai, Arizona (Supai Indian Reservation)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jVR-XhS20/?igshid=1u218cziglvwe

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟱: ⠀⠀ GET PERMITS EARLY! ⠀⠀ This really should be the most important tip listed. I can’t tell you how many people have reached out to me after seeing my photos and have said something like “Oh, I can’t wait to go! We’re thinking about going later this year.” And I hate being the bearer of bad news and explaining that permits are required—and likely already sold out—when they say they haven’t gotten a permit yet. Often times they don’t even know that a permit is required and even though they might be tentatively planning on going later this year, they’ll face a rude awakening when they find out that the permits went on sale and sold out just a few days ago. ⠀⠀ So if you’re hoping to go to Havasupai anytime soon, mark your calendar for February 1 of next year so that you can be ready to purchase permits when they go on sale. Campground reservations for all arrival dates from March 1, 2021 and onwards will become available on February 1, 2021 after 8:00 a.m. (Arizona time) at HavasupaiReservations.com ⠀⠀ Pro Tip: Register early at HavasupaiReservations.com so you can save time doing it the morning permits go on sale. ⠀⠀ If you’re still holding out hopes of going this year, head to the website and book NOW. I checked early this morning for two people, and it only had ONE date available: Nov. 4. You can get on a cancellation list though, so you can add your name to your preferred date and hope that someone cancels. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Beaver Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8gzcsrhSJq/?igshid=1ebr5v4pzh850

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟯: ⠀⠀ DO NOT go to Havasupai without water shoes! ⠀⠀ No, you cannot take off your hiking boots to cross the streams; there are simply too many stream crossings to get to Beaver Falls and the Confluence to be taking your shoes on and off. A good pair of water shoes is really important. Solomon makes great amphibious shoes that are perfect for going in and out of the water and keeping your feet comfortable on the rest of the hike as well. The @salomon Crossamphibian Swift 2 Water shoes were the shoe of choice for our group (I think almost half of us bought these) and they worked great. Water sandals work well too but because of the cold (if you go now) I think shoes are just better. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #supai #grandcanyon #hikehavasupai #backpackhavasupai #grandcanyonhike #backpackinggirls #hikerunited #hiking #getoutdoors #outdoorwomen #trekkingwomen #girlswhohike #hikingadventures #getoutthere #hikingwomen #womenwhoadventure #backpacking #backpackinglist #backpackerdiaries #backpackingwomen #backpackerunited #backpackinghavasupai #takemebackpacking #backpackersintheworld #backpackerinc #hikerchicksrock #hikerbabesorg100 #arizonahikersguide @havasupaifalls @backpackermag @backpackinggirls_ @hikerchicksrock @hikerbabes @hikerlifemag @arizonahikersguide (at Havasu Falls, Supai, AZ - Grand Canyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8bjfivhvff/?igshid=eoo2ng9cklv6
