Havasupai Camping Trip

Matt and I went backing to Havasupai last weekend with our good friends, Rick and Marie. Havasuapi is a very remote place located about 66 miles from Kingman, Arizona. Wow! What a beauty! We drove out last Wednesday night, got to the rim at about 9pm and slept until about 4:30am. At this time we loaded up our packs and started to head down the mountain to reach our destination. The only way to reach this place is on foot, horseback or helicopter. The hike itself was not difficult; however, what was difficult was carrying a 40lb pack. I realized at this moment I probably packed too much! Oh, well!! My body is definitely sore even 'til this day...ugh! But, hey, it was well worth it! At about 8 miles in we hit the village of Supai, a Native American tribe. Pretty amazing! These natives have lived here all their life! I can see why...it is so remote and absolutely breath taking! We stayed three nights and then took the helicopter out because Marie was pregnant. We were so grateful she was pregnant, because there was no way I was going to lug my crap uphill for 10 miles! Anyway, enjoy our shots!!
