Havasupai Trip

For those of you considering the Havasupai trip this summer, here's some info:

For those of you with Google Earth, here's a file I put together with the key locations on it.

Here's the tribe's website. Looks like we have to make reservations through them.

Another website with info.

The hike is about 10 miles through the desert. You can pay $85 for a helicopter if you're a sissy. There is a little village down there, but beings that there's no cars in the whole place, I'm doubting they have a walmart. It's a backpacking trip. Sleeping stuff. Food/stuff to make food (no fires allowed). Water bottles/filter. They let you clean up in the river with biodegradable soap. The hike is classified as moderately strenuous.

By comparison, the Timp hike to the summit is 7.5 miles with a 4580' gain. This hike is 10 miles with about 2500' elevation difference.

And an interesting factoid is that Supai, AZ is the only United States Post Office that still delivers mail by muel. What more reason do you need to go??
