Spring or fall season is the best time to visit Havasu Falls.

For the thrill in the hike, the scenic beauty around and the distinct blue-green color of the water.

There are sign boards yelling about this all along the trail! If you day-hike you’ll ruin the trip.

For adept trekkers it’s 3-5 hours and for newbies it’s 6-8 hours, so a day’s hike would not be wise.

Hire a mule that carries 4 bags at a time that will do some monetary benefits to the mule owners and make the hike less tiring.

Take a helicopter ride for an amazing aerial view of the falls. Book the ride well in advance, as locals have the first dibs on the chopper!
14 . Stay at a Lodge
