havasupai falls.....AMAZING!





pictures just cant do this place justice. It is absolutely amazing, and although you cant really call it a vacation because its more of an adventure, its a must for anyone who loves the outdoors. we hiked a total of about 30 miles. we had backpacks that were 40lbs each and blisters the size of Texas....and we would still do it again in a heart beat. its on the calendar for next year if anyone wants to join us.
some highlights:
jumping off 50 foot waterfalls.
finding a rope swing..score!
eating nothing but dehydrated food....gotta love dehydrated beef stroganoff with 1200mg of sodium, yum.
watching arron face his fear of heights...hahahaha
rafting down the river with $5.00 rafts from walmart, make sure to jump off BEFORE the 200 foot waterfall.
the helicopter ride out of the canyon... NO WAY was i hiking back UP!
realizing you take ICE for granted once you get home.

Are you crazy??? I guess if you land in water no one knows if you peed your pants on the way down. Looks like a blast, what amazing photos.

We would love to join you next year. I did it a few years ago and loved it. I would esp love the helicopter ride, that hike out is a nightmare! Glad you enjoyed.

Oh I am so jealous! I HEART Havasupi and for some reason the camping doesn't even feel like camping because of those freakin' awesome waterfalls! BUT - The eggs? Seriously - NASTY!

After catching up on your adventurous life, YOU inspire me to get out. I need to take advantage of nature more like you. BTW that swim suit looks hot on you. Nice choice, very flattering.
