Waterfalls of Havasupai
About another half mile brings you to Havasu Falls, which has also been changed by the flood. Havasu Falls' crest, is now flowing out of the right side of the previous slightly higher crest. Havasu Falls still provides excellent swimming and photo opportunities.
Mooney Falls (another mile from Havasu falls at the far end of the campground) suffered the least change, but the pool was filled with silt. An artificial wall has been put in place and already it is being calcified and covered by travertine.
It is natural for the falls to change over time, as evidenced by the ancient crests lining Havasu and Mooney falls. The pools will regain their previous shapes, as the process repeats itself as it has been doing for millennia.
The water temperature of about 70 degrees remains relatively constant throughout the year. It's high mineral content and carbonate precipitate account for the pools and natural dams. The in-frequent floods repeatedly destroy many of these natural dams, but day by day and year by year they are constantly being reformed.

Plan a trip or vacation using detailed downloadable maps and referencing our sights guide, check the weather of the area, get the park address and driving directions, and find national park hotels and lodging.
Grand Canyon behind Ribbon Falls
This is the view from behind Ribbon Falls in the Grand Canyon. It is indescribable even by a photo!!! The mist, the hard work to get to this spot, the environment. WOW - the memories.
This is west of the North Kaibab Trail on the North Rim between Cottonwood Camp and Phantom Ranch. It is a marvellous micro-environment. I have several other photos but this one had escaped my attention and may just be the best of the bunch. I love the red on the north (left) wall. The North Kaibab trail is part of the Arizona Trail that traverses the 800 miles from the border with Mexico to the border with Utah.

Colorado River, Marble Canyon marks the beginning of the Grand Canyon.
The Colorado River starts it's journey through Grand Canyon by slicing into the earth downstream of Lee's Ferry, at the northeastern tip of the park. While the walls gradually rise, the river cuts downward, forming the narrow, steep-walled Marble Canyon. About 80 miles downstream of Lee's Ferry is where Marble Canyon gives way to the deeper, broader Grand Canyon. Although Marble Canyon bears little resemblance to the expansive canyon downstream of it, it cuts through the same rocks and is considered part of the same geological formation.
Marble Canyon is the section of the Colorado River canyon in northern Arizona from Glen Canyon Dam to the confluence with the Little Colorado River, which marks the beginning of the Grand Canyon. Marble Canyon marks the western boundary of the Navajo Nation. In 1975, the former Marble Canyon National Monument, which followed the Colorado River northeast from the Grand Canyon to Lee's Ferry, was made part of Grand Canyon National Park.At Marble Canyon you cross over the Colorado River via the new Navajo Bridge. There is a small visitor center nearby the old bridge where you can learn about its construction and walk out over the old bridge and look at the river and canyon below.
Marble Canyon is 44 Miles from Jacob Lake Inn and will take roughly 50 minutes to drive.
