Where can I find some hidden waterfalls in Arizona?
Arizona is home to one of the single most legendary hidden waterfalls in the United States: the breathtaking, awe-inspiring cascade known as Havasu Falls. It’s nothing short of a desert paradise; accessible only to those willing to do a rigorous eight-plus mile one-way hike down into it, it’s a permit-only experience that you’ll never, ever forget. In the event that you’ve already conquered that one, there’s always Mooney Falls, also on the Havasupai Reservation, and also immensely challenging (but rewarding) to access. Grand Falls is another epic waterfall in Arizona, though it’s mostly seasonal (best seen in springtime, during snow runoff, or following a notable rain event).
