Havasu Falls is one of three falls within the Havasupi Indian Reservation in a remote canyon offshoot of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The falls are are considered one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world. The falls consist of one main chute that drops over a 120-foot (37 m) vertical cliff and a series of pools below created by mineralization. The Havasupi (the-people-of-the-blue-green-waters) are a Native American tribe well-known for being the only permanent inhabitants in the Grand Canyon, where they have lived for over 800 years. The reservation holds the distinction of being one of the only places left in America where mail is still delivered by mule. But the main claim-to-fame for the reservation is its richly colored waters and its awe-inspiring waterfalls, both of which have made this small community a bustling tourist hub that attracts thousands of people every year.
