The Colors of the Wind (The Pros)

Despite the previous post being so negative and full of complaints, the things we've seen will be forever imprinted in my mind.  Havasupai is utterly gorgeous, and for the most part extremely hidden.  No cars are allowed within 10 miles of the village's premises, so campers must endure a grueling 10 mile hike through the canyons to reach this paradise.  We were woefully unprepared for this trip, as we thought we could carry all our supplies in our journey.  They offered mules and horses to carry our bags for a fee, but we brushed it off.  But it was a lesson learned, and my poor legs paid the price.

The Indian reservation's main attraction are their waterfalls.  They have a total of 5 breathtaking falls, and we were able to see 4 of them.  The military rations we brought on our trip were surprisingly delicious.  With just boiling water, we were able to have a filling serving of lasagna to a breakfast platter of eggs, bacon, and hash browns.  No matter how much our legs and shoulders suffered this weekend, these pictures should explain why it was all worth it in the end.
