AH!!! What a wonderful experience!!!
 |
We left Sunday after church and stopped in Seligman, AZ. This town is on Route 66. Super small town and has this great motel. We were given the Harley Davidson room.
|
 |
Monday morning we stopped here. (And Wednesday night too!) This place had the BEST FOOD EVER. And was just what you would want at a small town Cafe.
|
 |
| Hilltop-- or trail head. |
 |
| Yeah, not the best pic, but I had to take it. This is us starting out at about 9:30 Monday morning. It was crazy windy and pretty chilly. Thank goodness for layers! |
 |
| Can you tell there has been progress? The first mile is extremely steep. We passed a lot of horses carrying loads of mail, bags, etc. This is the last place in the US that uses the Pony Express!! |
 |
| Just what I thought the dry river bed of the Grand Canyon would look like. Technically not part of the National Grand Canyon..only because it is Native American land. |
 |
Village of Supai. Had to stop for Navajo Tacos!!! (Or is this Supai Tacos?) I LOVE fry bread. SO GOOD!!! After 8 miles it was so good to stop and eat... 2 more miles to the camp site.
|
 |
| Almost to camp site-- finally seeing the river that will make the falls. |
 |
| Last bridge before camp site. Really pretty river. Lots of Cottonwoods in this area. |
 |
| Havasu Falls!!!! First view! (Still not to camp site.) |
 |
| HOME! My tent-- and the river so close. It sure was nice to hear it at night. This is sunrise Tues. morning...after some rain in the night |
 |
| Such a beautiful morning.... |
 |
| Yes, I was cold, but not too bad. Best part of camping when chilly? Hot chocolate for breakfast and dinner!!! |
 |
| Mooney Falls. We didn't know how to get to the base..and then chickened out when we figured out how to get down there... another time. |
 |
| Dad at Mooney Falls |
 |
| Jen at Mooney Falls |
 |
| Havasu Falls |
 |
| I love that we were the only ones here at the time. Most people visit when it is warm so they can swim. I love the pictures and I loved that it was cool. |
 |
| Panorama |
 |
| Same area as Havasu Falls--just the little way away. |
 |
| Dad's pictures are good too.... |
 |
| Sun finally greeting us. |
 |
| River between Havasu and Mooney Falls-- and goes through campground. |
 |
| See the picnic table in the back? People swim over there to have a place to sit. The water stays about 70* year round...why didn't I bring my suit?! |
 |
| I think this is 50 Foot Falls.... |
 |
| Soaking up the day. |
 |
| Reservation dogs were everywhere!! This little one scared me to death. He was looking over Mooney Falls and a gust of wind came... I thought he was a gonner! |
 |
| The way to get down to Mooney Falls. The ladders, the little cave.... I need my anti-anxiety meds before I do that! |
 |
| Campground river bridge |
 |
| Love the rocks in the canyon... yes we are heading out! |
 |
| I love my hiking poles! Couldn't have done this without them! |
 |
| The red rock, the white clouds, the blue sky. I love this Land! |
 |
| Seligman... no idea, but this place is GREAT! |
 |
| Anyone seen the movie CARS? They drove Route 66 for inspiration... I think this was a place that inspired them for sure. |
I really had a great time. I of course have LOTS more pics... Definitely checked something off my bucket list. THANKS DAD!!! Where to next?!
