When I have more time (since I only have two more days of freedom before I am back to work!), I will go back and add captions to these. Until now, this will give you an idea of how the hike was!

Holy Cow. I keep being told that Havasupai totally got flooded and they had to evacuate people from the canyon the last couple of days. It’s on cnn.com and foxnews.com too. We were pretty lucky!

I just got back from an amazing hiking trip to Havasupai, which is located on the South rim of the Grand Canyon. It’s an indian reservation hidden in the canyon and has the most beautiful waterfalls and blue green water. The hike is pretty intense, but it is so worth it. I wish I could of stayed longer! Here are some pictures Whitney took of the hike. More to come!
