Physicality

It’s impossible to forget your first glimpse of the Havasu Canyon. Approaching the rim from the surrounding plateau, the landscape gives no hint of the nearby wonders that await, fantastically colored in brilliant blue-green waterfalls, red stones, orange bands and gold sunshine. Our hiking exploration focuses on a small but incredibly beautiful part of the canyon known as Havasupai, a magical oasis in a remote section of the Grand Canyon.
