There are places on this earth that don't feel entirely claimed by man where the air sits heavier,…read morewhere silence hums just a little too loud. Havasupai Falls is one of those places. Now listen I'm gonna tell you straight. You can hike it, sure. Strap on your pack, bake in that canyon heat, follow the mules and the dust like you're reenacting some pioneer tragedy. Or... you take the helicopter. Drop in like you've got better sense than the rest of 'em. Because when you're only staying a night, you don't waste half your trip pretending you enjoy suffering. You get there quick, boots on the ground, eyes wide open. And what waits for you... ain't normal. The water this unreal shade of blue, like someone spilled paint straight outta heaven itself cuts through red rock like it's been there since before memory had a name. The canyon walls stand tall, watching. Always watching. You can feel it. Not in a poetic way... in a you're not alone kind of way. The people there, the tribe they carry a quiet presence. Like they know something they're not in a hurry to explain. Respectful, grounded... but there's history in their eyes. Old history. Night comes different down there. The fire was crackling low. Shadows stretching just a little too far, bending where they shouldn't. That's when I saw it. Across the canyon, tucked behind a tree like it didn't quite understand hiding... something big. Hairy. Not a trick of the light. Not a deer. Not a man. It stood there. Watching. Then came the sound. Tap... tap... tap. Something hitting the tent. Not hard. Just enough to say, "I'm still here." I thought maybe rocks... maybe pinecones. But there weren't any trees above us that could explain it. And whatever it was it had aim. I told the others. Nobody laughed. Nobody slept. We sat around that fire like it was the last safe place on earth, eyes fixed into the dark, waiting for something to step forward... or worse, not step forward. Because sometimes what you don't see is worse than what you do. Finally, in a moment of pure, desperate brilliance or stupidity someone grabbed a sandwich and chucked it out there into the black. We waited. Minutes stretched. The canyon held its breath. And then... nothing. Whatever it was... it was gone. No footsteps. No sound. Just silence again, like the place had swallowed it whole. Now I ain't saying I believe in Bigfoot... ...but I'm also not saying I slept worth a damn that night. And here's the part where I switch gears for ya because after all that spooky nonsense, you gotta laugh a little. Look, I'm just gonna say it .. "I paid good money to fly into a canyon, not to get mugged by a damn woodland gorilla." You got folks hiking ten miles, riding donkeys, sweating like they owe the sun money... and I'm down there getting harassed by what I can only assume is the canyon's unofficial night manager. Five stars. Would absolutely go again. ...but next time, I'm bringing two sandwiches.

Out in the middle of the desert in Arizona pretty much near the end portion of the Grand Canyon and…read moreabout an hour away from Route 66 is the trail to get to Havasupai. There's a lodge in the village and a campground area another 2 miles from the village, both have different dates to apply for permits online about a year in advance. There are 5 amazing water fall sites once you pass the village. 50 Foot Falls, Lower Navajo Falls, Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls, and Beavers. An additional journey heading out 6 miles past Beaver falls you can get to the Confluence where you can see the Havasu Creek water meet up with the Colorado river. For the camp sites you aren't assigned an actual location you just grab any available site that's not directly on the trail. There's a fresh water spring in the camp site where we refilled out bottles for the 4 days & 3 nights we were here. Also 2 miles back up at the village they do have a cafeteria with burgers fries, hot dogs and all that other stuff. If you're not up for the 8-10 miles hike into the village/campground with all your camping gear on your back they have options at additional cost. You can have your bags packed on miles/horses and carried into the site & they also have helicopter rides in and out of the village (first come first serve, the natives have priority to skip the line at anytime)

Booked the sunset tour for my boyfriend and I. Werner was our guide and I'd recommend you request…read morehim when booking. He kept the tour lighthearted and entertaining by intertwining personal stories with his vast knowledge of the area, wildlife, plants, and geology. He shared personal photographs to go along with his stories and even played photographer for guests so we could all get some amazing memories to take home. The truck is open air and comfy. They have bottled water and blankets available if you get cold. This tour is the only one that is allowed to take people through Kaibab Forest before entering the park which I'd say is a good reason to pick this company over the competition. Once inside the park, you make stops at several scenic spots and then head on to a final sunset viewing location. Along the way, Werner continued to share fun information and stories. There was plenty of time to enjoy the views, take photos, and mingle - never once did the tour feel rushed. I would book again with this company and would recommend it to others.

Had I come on my own I wouldn't have known so many amazing things about this other worldly place. I met Steve in Kanab at the Coral Cliffs Tours office. We drove in a 4x4 company vehicle. He told me so much about all the history of each area we came across before we even got to White Pocket. I never felt unsafe as he was very professional in his handling in the navigation of the uneven, deep sand dirt road. We spent 3-4 hours traversing the various areas and hills of white pocket while he explained how they came about, the various colors and some great scientific mystery about them. Such a good tour and a heck of a lot more learned than had I just come here to snap some photos. 6-7 hours for $350.00 is a steal for the amount of time and schooling I got and I didn't have to drive. They even provided water! Worth every cent! I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Steve. Excellent guide!

Are you tired of being surrounded by many tourists in Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Antelope…read moreCanyon? If you are in that area, I highly recommend that you take a short side trip to "Coal Mine Canyon" in Tuba City. Coal Mine Canyon is not in most of guidebooks so you can enjoy the colorful canyon and the solitude. It is in the Navajo land and it is close to the eastern edge of Painted Desert. There is absolutely no sign to tell you where the canyon is so here is how to get there. 1. Drive to Tuba City on Route 160 2. There is only one major intersection in the city and from there, take Route 264 "South" 3. Drive about 15 miles or if you don't want to count the miles, drive your car at 60 mph for about 15 minutes. 4. You will see one new house and one windmill on your left. (Don't worry! These are the only structures around this area) 5. Turn left to the gravel road to go to the side of the house. 6. Park your car near the ruin of the old house after passing by the new house and walk to the rim of the canyon. When I got there with two other friends around 11:00 am, there was no other tourist. We enjoyed the canyon by walking around the rim for about an hour as if we had owned it. It was so quite and relaxing, just the sound of wind and the sound of a friend of mine urinating. If you have a chance to visit northern Arizona, I highly recommend you visit this hidden place!

From…read morethe moment our tour began, his kindness, calm confidence, and sense of humor made the experience enjoyable and memorable. What truly set Lamor apart was his photography skill. He knew exactly where to position us, how to use the canyon's light and angles, and even took stunning photos for us that we never could have captured on our own. Some of our favorite pictures from our entire Southwest trip came from his expertise and willingness to help. Beyond that, Lamor was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Lower Antelope Canyon. He kept the group engaged with interesting information and just the right amount of humor, making the tour both educational and fun. We've visited many amazing places, but guides like Lamor are rare. If you're fortunate enough to have him as your guide, you're in for a truly exceptional experience. Thank you, Lamor, for helping create memories we'll cherish for years to come!

I didn't like this tour. It was the first time when I took a tour to Antelope Canyon and I was…read moresuper excited. But when I arrived to Ken's Tour Lower Antelope, I found out that the group of people coming together was 30 people or more. They got two groups together and they didn't give us enough time. We were rushed and we didn't have time to take pictures. Also, they didn't have operated restrooms with water, there were toilets outside without any water and all sanitizers were empty. Despite no water in the restrooms they had an operational fountain in front of the office. No wi-fi. The waiting room was overcrowded. It is good I went there in October, I don't know what people doing in summer time. Additionally, the guide was rushed and rude. Also the whole tour took about 30 minutes maybe a little more, on website it says 50-60 minutes. Antelope Canyon is amazing, but just don't take the tour from Ken's Tours. I saw there was another tour operator and I would like to see reviews from people who took other's operator's tour.
