The waterfalls are absolutely magical and worth every ounce of effort it takes to get there. <\/p>\n<p>This iconic Havasu Falls hike, located on Havasupai tribal land, is a bucket list destination for many outdoor lovers. The trail is 10 miles each way, departing from Hualapai Hilltop in Arizona where you descend into a steep canyon and travel through a dry sandy wash all the way to paradise.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a long hike carrying your backpacking gear, but once you arrive and take off your pack, you\u2019ll be rewarded with turquoise swimming holes,  gorgeous waterfalls, and relaxing creekside camping.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, I\u2019ll share how to prepare and what to expect on your Havasu Falls hike so you are ready for an epic adventure! <\/p>\n<div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id31241_5f82d4-3a alignnone has-theme-palette8-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\">\n<div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-middle kt-inner-column-height-full\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column31241_969c6c-c6 inner-column-1\">\n<div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h5 class=\"kt-adv-heading31241_b23c29-a3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-3-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading31241_b23c29-a3\">Read these other Havasu Falls Posts:<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- [element-101536] --><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-6-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2e67e1c9645a5379619f676532176348\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><em>This post may contain affiliate links.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- [\/element-101536] --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-havasu-falls-hiking-map\">Havasu Falls Hiking Map<\/h2>\n<p>Below is the trail map that I created for my Havasu Falls hike.

The trail begins at the Hualapai Hilltop parking lot at an elevation of 5,200 feet.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend getting an early start for two reasons. First, the trail has NO SHADE. So starting earlier means your hike to Havasu Falls will be a lot more comfortable. Second, the earlier you arrive, the more campsites you\u2019ll have to choose from since you\u2019ll be ahead of many other hikers. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: There is no water available at the trailhead or anywhere on the trail, so make sure you pack enough to make it all 10 miles to the campground. There are bathrooms at the trailhead.<\/p>\n<p>From the Hualapai Hilltop trailhead, the trail begins an immediate 800-foot descent over the first mile, dropping you into Havasu Canyon which you can see below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" alt=\"Woman standing with back to camera looking out over Arizona

If you can manage to be packed up even earlier, that\u2019s even better. As you noticed on the way down, there is very little shade on the trail, so depending on the time of year, the hike out from Havasu Falls can be deathly hot. That extreme dry heat can suck the life right out of you, and even in March on my first trip, the temps were in the mid-80s, and it was quite hot hiking out.<\/p>\n<p>A 6am departure should put you back at your car around noon, avoiding the hottest part of the day on the steepest part of the trail (which also happens to be west facing). <\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t an early riser, the second option is to have a relaxing morning, spend some more time enjoying the falls, and then start your hike later in the day. My trips were in March and May and it stifling hot, so this was the approach I took.<\/p>\n<p>I took a refreshing morning swim in Havasu Creek before reaching Supai Village, and then I started my hike in the afternoon. <\/p>\n<p>By the time I reached the steep ascent back to my car, the sun had gone down and the trail was in the shade. I got to enjoy the colorful sunset right as I finished the trail, and it was a great way to cap off the day. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d suggest this in June-September, but for the cooler months, it was a great way to hike out. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

There are signs everywhere stating day hiking is prohibited. Not only is day hiking not allowed, the hike to Havasu Falls is 10 miles each way which is way too far to hike there and back in a day while still being able to enjoy the falls. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1731710262767\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I get to Havasu Falls without hiking? <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The only way to get to Havasu Falls without hiking is by flying with Airwest helicopters. You must have a Havasu Falls permit or lodging reservation to be eligible to fly. From March 15 to October 15, Airwest Helicopters flies on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and the rest of the year it only flies Sundays and Fridays. It costs $100\/person. There are no reservations, and no guarantees that you will get a spot, so you should be prepared to hike. Check-in for flights begins at 10am either at the Hilltop Trailhead for flying to Havasu Falls or at the Supai Village Landing Pad for flying back to the parking lot. However, hikers looking to fly out often line up as early as 5am in order to secure a spot. You can call Airwest at (623) 516-2790 for the latest info.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1731711124109\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How hard is the hike to Havasu Falls?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I would classify the hike to Havasu Falls as moderate, and the hike from Havasu Falls back to the trailhead as challenging due to length, elevation gain, and sun exposure. However, I still consider this to be a beginner-friendly backpacking trip. The trail is easy to follow, you only have to set up and take down your campsite one time, there are toilets at the campground and a grocery store in the village, and there are plenty of fellow backpackers in case you need a hand.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1731711273488\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How much water should I carry on my Havasu Falls hike?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Tribe recommends you carry a gallon (nearly 4 liters) per person hiking to and from Havasu Falls. I personally brought three liters, but the temperatures were mild. In the hot summer months, dehydration is a real risk, so 4 full liters would be smart. There is no water at the trailhead, so fill up before you drive to the Trailhead.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1731711559063\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">When is the best time to hike to Havasu Falls?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I think the best time to visit Havasu Falls is mid-March through mid-May or mid-September to mid-October. During these months, the daytime temperatures are more comfortable for hiking. However, during these months, it may be too cold to swim. Even though summer is prime for swimming, I\u2019d personally avoid summer due to the extreme heat which makes the hike less pleasant. Summer is also\u00a0monsoon season with dangerous flash floods being most likely from mid-June to late September. The trail and campground are closed in December and January.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1731711945099\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I hire a pack mule to carry my stuff to Havasu Falls?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When you reserve your permit, you will be given the option to hire a pack mule to carry your camping gear to the Havasu Falls campground. A pack mule is $400 round trip and can carry 4 bags (max weight per bag is 32 pounds). While I didn\u2019t see this personally, you should be aware that there have been a lot of reports of pack mules being malnourished and overworked.
