Mooney Falls in Havasu Canyon, Arizona

Access to Mooney Falls and Havasu Canyon isn’t always easy. Weather conditions can force the closure of this portion of Grand Canyon National Park. But those who manage to make the trek safely are rewarded with views of the vibrant blue-green waters of Havasu Creek, on display here at Mooney Falls, one of several falls along the creek’s course. The creek winds through the Havasupai Reservation, where tribal members still live, many making a living by working in the park as educators and guides.
