A view of the canyon from halfway down the switchbacks

Make room for the pack horses! (Why don't we have horses to carry our gear?)

Lance, Julieanna, and Jeanette as we start into the canyon

Is that Chris finding some shade under a rock?

Hiking in the canyon

Interesting to see the canyon walls slowly grow up around us

Jeanette resting after the ten mile hike to Havasu Falls. What a beautiful sight! (Jeanette, not the waterfall!)

Havasu Falls from above - the blue/green color caused by lime deposits. (Did you know there is a $500 fine for jumping off the top? You would have to PAY me more than that to do it! Mike's dad did it before it was prohibited.)

Corey and Jeanette cooling off after the hike

Havasu Falls

The little falls as Havasu Falls flows down the Havasu Creek

The water feels good on tired feet!

Amy and Nick enjoying the stream

Chris crossing the stream

Jeanette having breakfast on our first morning there

The gang getting ready to hike down to Mooney Falls

Jeanette and Amy hiking thru the tunnel to get to Mooney Falls

Mooney Falls from halfway down the trail. Interesting formations left by lime deposits.

There is a reason it is called Mooney FALLs!

Climbing behind Mooney Fall for a jump

Nick and Amy negotiating the rope swing (with two young on-lookers)

Nick was a natural on the rope swing!

Wading downstream - Chris, Mike, Theresa, Jeanette, and Christi (and the cameraman Corey)

The myriad of waterfalls and spills were beautiful

Lush green in a desert canyon

The canyon walls towering above the green oasis. (It is amazing what water can do to a desert.)

Jeanette posing for a picture (again!) before cooling off

What a refreshing private pool!

More beautiful falls below Mooney Falls

Navajo Falls

Mike getting ready to jump! He apparently lived (or at least was floating in the water), so the other crazy guy with him eventually jumped too.

Jeanette and Christi at Navajo Falls, watching crazy Mike jump

My first attempt at doing Panorama shots with this new camara - Jeanette and Christi at Navajo Falls

My first real attempt at doing a panorama shot -- Navajo Falls

Some colts and interesting rock formations near Supai Village

Julieanna and Lance posing as we were tempted to pull out the plastic money and get a quick trip back to the top in the helicopter.

The canyon walls tower above Jeanette and a full-grown tree on the hike out.
