The first fall below the Havasupi Indian town of Supai is 50-Foot Falls. We hiked back up to these falls from the campground a few times.

50-Foot Falls has several water flows over the cliffs which have very narrow water flows.

The main water flow of 50-Foot Falls with a large pool at the base. Cal walked out into the pool to take this photograph - and it was pretty tricky footing in the cold water.

Navajo Falls is right below 50-Foot Falls and more dramatic - and noisier.

All along the trails were rock walls with cactus growing right out of the rock. It is amazing as there is typically no ledge - just coming out of the rock.

After lunch we hiked down river past Mooney Falls and toward the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The foliage is very dense at times along the river.

Looking down river you see lush green along the river and no vegetation at the top of the canyon.

Coming back from down river we were treated to a long view of Mooney Falls in the distance. A small waterfall from a small stream - which Cal had photographed two days before.

From this view you can see the travertine shelf going across the canyon from wall to wall.

A tree on the bank which had its root exposed by floods - the tree persevered and grew into the lower level of the river. The root are now dried out forming a strange look to the tree.
