Our take

Beaver Falls is a series of cascades located deep within Havasu Canyon on Havasupai Tribal land. The falls consist of five limestone terraces that drop roughly 40 feet into pools with striking turquoise coloration. To reach them, you must first secure an advance reservation through the Havasupai Tribe’s official booking system—no walk-up visitors are permitted to this area. Once you have a valid reservation (either camping-based or lodge-based stays), the hike from Supai Village to Beaver Falls covers approximately 28 miles round-trip over strenuous terrain.

The journey to Beaver Falls is more demanding than the hike to Havasu Falls. After passing Mooney Falls (roughly 22 miles from the trailhead), you continue another 3 miles downstream, negotiating multiple creek crossings as the canyon narrows. Swimming is permitted in the pools, though current conditions and water flow should always be checked with the tribe. Dogs are not allowed on this hike. The official season runs from February through November, with access subject to weather—flash flooding can close the canyon temporarily.

This waterfall is best suited for experienced backpackers comfortable with a multi-day stay in remote canyon country. Plan your reservation well in advance, as Havasupai permits sell out quickly once they go on sale each February.
