Havasupai

Well. It's July 5th and tonight is the first night of my summer vacation since school got out that I feel like I can actually sit and relax for a minute by myself. This summer is CRAZY! I'm getting married on July 30. So I've been wrapped up in the plans. Besides pictures and flowers and invitataions, I've had to find a job, start packing up my stuff to move to Salt Lake and of course, throw in a few trips!

This blog entry will focus on Havasupai. We went down there June 7-11. For those who have never heard of it, this is a beautiful lush canyon that is a tributary into the Grand Canyon down in AZ. It's been on my list for years. I had seen the bottom of the canyon when I rafted the Grand back in 2004 but I had wanted to see these waterfalls long before that.

Havasupai means "people of the blue-green waters." There is a reservation about 2 miles before you get to the waterfalls. The only way in is hiking, mules, or helicopter so everthing is brought in that way. To learn more about this place, click here.

I have so many pics, it's hard to narrow down the good ones!

Oh, I'm super jealous. You have to quit posting such fun adventures. It makes me sad, because I haven't done anything crazy like this in a long time. Again, congratulations on your engagement. I'm so happy for you! Even though I am sad that you'll be leaving Price and I'll probably never see you again, let alone play ball together. You are a sweet, sweet girl, and I'll miss you.
