Havasu Falls, famous for its blue green water, appears like satin as it cascades along lower rocks

Havasu Falls, known to the Havasupai tribe as Havasuw Hagjahgeevma, is a waterfall of Havasu Creek, located in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States. It is within Havasupai tribal lands. Havasu Falls is located 1-1ÃÂ¢ÃÂÃ¢â¬Å¾2 miles 2.4 km from Supai. It is the more famous and most visited of the various falls along Havasu Creek. It consists of one main chute that drops over a 90-to-100-foot 27 to 30 m vertical cliff into a series of plunge pools. High calcium carbonate concentration in the water creates the vivid blue-green color and forms the natural travertine dams that occur in various places near the falls.
