This post is part of the “Havasupai – The Land of the Blue Green Waterfalls” series.
Mooney Falls is at the end of the Havasupai campground limits where the Havasu creek’s waters fall for almost 200 feet into the lower level of the canyon. It is the tallest of all waterfalls in Supai.
The contrast of the white waters falling down the red canyon and into the turquoise pool far below creates an incredible and amazing sight.
The Mooney Falls Trail Descent – Not for the Faint of Heart
The trail that goes down to the base of Mooney Falls presents a challenging descent through a tunnel carved on the canyon wall followed by a very exposed trail section adapted with chains and metal spikes. Descend at your own risk. If you decide to do it, I’d recommend gloves for a better grip to the usually wet and dirty chains. This is also the path to take for those going to the Beaver Falls area further downstream.
