Havasupai

While in Arizona, Brooks went hiking in Havasupai with Sterling. He got to see all the changes since the flood a couple years ago. Navajo Falls no longer exists, but there are two new waterfalls upstream.

Here are a few pictures of the new waterfalls.



Because of the flooding all the vegetation was wiped out by the water. It will take a while for it to all grow in, so for now you get lots of dirt.


They also explored a cave in the area.

It started raining while they were down there, and they hiked out a day early. Brooks said the whole trail was a running stream of water. As they hiked they saw waterfalls everywhere over the edge of the canyon walls. They even heard and saw one form as they were hiking. He had never seen the canyon like this and enjoyed the experience.
