Why visit Havasupai?
How to get to Havasupai
How to get to the parking lot (Hualapai)
The Parking Area is known as Hualapai (Walapai) Hilltop. This is where the trailhead is. There are no permanent services of any kind, i.e. gas, food or lodging - although at times there may be drinks and snacks available from vendors. There is no water available for hikers. Please don't forget to bring water for the hike and fill up your tank with gas.
The trail head begins at Hualapai Hilltop. Hualapai Hilltop can be reached at the end of Indian Road 18 which is 68 miles north of Route 66. Beware of cattle and wildlife on Indian 18 - especially after dark!
DO NOT use the road that you may see on some maps that comes directly from the South Rim area (Grand Canyon National Park) - that is a primitive road that requires 4-wheel drive, and the drive time takes as long as it takes to use I40 to Route 66 to Indian 18.
Approximate Driving Times to Haulapai Hilltop

Hiking in to Supai
Hualapai is 8 miles from Supai villiage and 10 miles from Havasupai campground. The first mile of hiking is going down the switchbacks of Hualapai. After that mile, the rest is fairly flat all the way to Supai village. There is no water available for hikers for those 10 miles. Traditionally, you arrive at the village and pay the camping fees and then go down to the campground 2 more miles. You will pass Navajo falls and Havasu falls before you reach the campground.
