Day Six: Mile 140-178. Havasu Canyon hike.
\"\"<\/a>Some notes<\/a> about today’s river ride, starting at about mile 144:<\/p>\n

The inner canyon becomes precipitous for the next 25 river miles as the strata containing the slope-forming Bright Angel Shale dips below river level. This brings the Redwall\/Muav Limestone layers down to river level, and this combination produces a massive cliff. Another factor contributing to the steep inner gorge is the river’s canyon-cutting that has propagated upstream from the Toroweap Fault.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Havasu is well-known, and for good reason. Here’s a brief description of Havasu Canyon:<\/p>\n

Havasu Creek is another popular hike for rafting groups. The canyon itself is<\/span> somewhat like a green oasis sandwiched between vertical cliffs. Havasu Creek is usually a light blue color due to dissolved limestone<\/span>.<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A much more in-depth and beautiful description of the Canyon, the Havasupai People, and the marvelous jewels within is located here<\/a>. What is most well-known are Havasu Falls, situated much further up the Canyon on the reservation of the Havasupai Indians. \"\"<\/a>This is not a place easy to access: you cannot drive there and if on foot, must hike<\/a> two days to reach the village. There is a helipad, if you’ve access to a chartered ‘copter. Once there, you can enjoy the falls. My Dad is already talking about hiking out to Havasu — maybe next year? — and I will not miss this one. Although I don’t know who we’ll be able to get to come watch the kids!?\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
