WE HIKED ACROSS A TRAIL UP TO A SLIPPERY PATH TO OVER HAVASUPAI LAKE. WE LATER SWAQM IN THE COOL WATERS. MY SON SAW THE CANYON FROM THE NORTH RIM WHERE THERE WAS A NICE VISITORS OLD LODGE. WE HIKED ON A TRAIL THAT WENT OUTTO A NARROW RIDGELINE AND BACK. WE CONTINUED ON OUR JOURNEY TO OTHER NATIONAL PARKS.
THE PARK HAS A MUSEUM AND LODGE AT THE SOUTH RIM AS WELL. ELK ARE FOUND HERE THAT WEIGH 1000 POUNDS. IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO APPROACH ELK. IN 1919 THE CANYON BECAME A PAR!IT IS THE MOST INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN RECOGNIZABLE LANDSCAPE ON EARTH AND THE MOST WONDERS TO BEHOLD. THERE WERE PREHISTORIC PALEO INDIANS HERE 9000 B.C.
MY HUSBAND AND I TRAVELLED WITH BACKPACKS THROUGH THE HAVASUPAI AREAS. TODAY THEY FARM THE TONTO PLAUTEAU USING CORN, BEANS AND SQUASH, MELONS, AND PUMPKINS. THEY ONLY MET ANGLOS IN 1776.
