Day two at Havasupai I woke up and found flowers outside the tent. That is all I have for pics on this device today. I did get a few pics on the waterproof camera of Mooney and Beaver falls.
The hike to these falls was good. Mooney is right at the end of the campground and the challenge was climbing down the cliff to get there. It was a great trail and quite easy. Plenty of hand-holds and chains plus a couple ladders. There were a couple of tunnels in the cliff as well. Quite the climb down. The fall itself was a great display of power.
The hike toBeaver was a couple miles. It wasn't bad at all, just hot. It also seemed to take forever to get there. Amazingly the trail cuts right through some grape vines. It's actually a lot of grape vines, a sea of green. There were a lot of great little pools, and falls along the way but you don't spend a lot if time near it. I felt like a billy goat a couple of times. It is worth the hike down. Good places to jump and swim around.
Found that the hike back went much faster. Maybe it was the lack of anticipation.
It was a good day. Quite enjoyable. The feet, not so happy but that is part of it. I will probably find a much better water shoe option. The shoes they rent at Zion for the Narrows might be the way to go. The rocks and sand did exactly what rock and sand do. I'm pretty torn up. A little mole skin will hopefully do the trick for the hike out tomorrow.
