The Havasupai Indian Reservation

What a fun trip this was. I got a chance to go hike the grand canyon with my dad, Tori, Vanessa, the Binghams and the Reeves. I had never been to the grand canyon and it was unbelievable. We had an 8 mile hike down to the Havasupai village. I had to pick and choose from the hundreds of pictures that were taken so here are a few...

Tori, Vanessa and myself. Behind us is where we hiked through the canyon.
Sunbathing after our first swim in the most beautiful water in the world. Eric found this cool rock to sit on with the river right below us. The lodge in the village was surrounded by red rock and was a very comfortable place to stay. We played hand and foot at night in our room and had some laughs. So fun! The second day we hiked down to the other waterfalls.
Havasupai means, "The people of the blue green water." This sight was absolutely breathtaking.
We had to climb down through caves and hold on to chains that had been secured to the side of the mountain. This sign says DESCEND AT YOUR OWN RISK. It was fun hiking down and then back out.

I was a little disappointed that they had literally no souvenirs to purchase and take home. There was this lady that worked at the little store her name is Alta and she had these cool earrings on and we asked her about them and she said she had made them. I told her she should sell them in the store. Then she offered to sell me the ones she had on and she said she had more at home. So she took us to her house and we each got a pair of earrings.
We were very fortunate to not have to backpack all of our stuff in. We paid to have our stuff carried in on the donkey train. So that made the trip very enjoyable. It was such a fun trip and I am so thankful that I got to go and have that experience. Thanks Dad and Tori for a great time!!

I am so jealous!! Our scouts in the ward I grew up in did that trek every year. It looks beautiful! You need a close up of the earrings... If you ever do it again and you have room for one more, give me a call - you girls look great btw. You're an inspiration to stay in shape despite busy family schedules!
