✨ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗡𝗼. 𝟰: ⠀⠀ Prepare for extreme cold or heat. ⠀⠀ If you are going any time other than April, May or October, be prepared for extreme cold or heat. It got down to about 22 degrees the last night we were there, so yes, it was COLD.🥶 ⠀⠀ It probably goes without saying, but proper gear is SO important if you’re backpacking Havasupai in February, March or November. Fires are not permitted in the campground, so you can’t rely on a fire for warmth. ⠀⠀ Some tips for staying warm (and comfortable) in the colder season: ⠀⠀ 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗴: Bring a zero degree bag. Mine was rated to 15 and I was still pretty cold. It ended up being doable with ALL my layers on, but if you want to be warm, you’re probably better off just bring a zero degree bag. If you don’t get cold easily, something in the 15-20 range is fine. ⠀⠀ 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿: A sleeping bag liner can add 10 degrees of warmth, so bring one of these and you should be a little extra cozy. ⠀⠀ 𝗣𝘂𝗳𝗳𝘆: A good puffy is as important as a good pair of hiking boots. Preferably one that has a lot of down, is waterproof, and can pack into itself. I used one from @patagonia and loved it. ⠀⠀ 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: my girl @kelliefina brought hand warmers on our trip and they saved my life on our last night, which was the coldest. I used these in my pockets in the evening and then threw them in the foot of my sleeping bag at night. ⠀⠀ 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀: Duh. Bring thick ones if your feet get cold. ⠀⠀ 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀: A good base layer is SO important. I brought a full set (top and bottom) by @odlo which had a ruched neck that pulled overhead and doubled as a face mask. ⠀⠀ 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀: The key to staying warm is layering, layering, layering. At night, I would wear my base layers, pants, my @kjus mid-layer, a puffy vest by @mountainhardwear (pictured), and my puffy jacket by @patagonia ⠀⠀ "𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀": You may think it’s overkill when you’re packing it in, but all the little things—hat, gloves, beanie, neck/face warmer, etc.—are just as important. ⠀⠀ #havasupai #havasupaifalls #backpackinghavasupai #backpackers #backpackinggirls #backpackingtips #hikehavasupai (at Beaver Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eO2kMhf3R/?igshid=9cp920p1thtq

• 𝔻𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕤... 𝒽𝓊𝒽?? ⛰ ⠀ ⠀ It’s very likely you’ve never even heard of the Domeland Wilderness. If you have, you’re way ahead of the curve. I’ve lived in California my entire life—growing up in the mountains in Northern California and later moving to Southern California—and before my husband mentioned this place he went backpacking as a teenager, I had never even heard of it. He recounted visions of stunning rock formations—much like what you’ll see at Yosemite National Park—but without all the people. He talked it up so much that I had trouble believing it was as great as he recalled (after all, this trip he took was close to 20 years ago). But not only did Domeland Wilderness live up to the hype, but it was even better than I could have imagined. ⠀ ⠀ Have you been??? Tell me about it!

✨ 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

[travelisthecure]

✨ 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

[travelisthecure]

✨ 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

[travelisthecure]

✨ 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

[travelisthecure]

✨ 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
