The majestic Grand Canyon, Arizona
The Grand Canyon is carved by the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona in North America. The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.
Grand Canyon National Park is one of the world's premier natural attractions, attracting about five million visitors per year. The canyon is divided into 4 points, the South Rim, North Rim, Grand Canyon West and Grand Canyon East.
South Rim is considered by many to be the “true Grand Canyon,” Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim features the vast, expansive views most often seen in magazines, websites, Facebook and on TV.
From the South Rim, you can experience the Grand Canyon from close to two dozen viewpoints, each with their own unique attributes, and many that allow you to peer all the way down into the heart of the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River. Approximately 5 hours from either Phoenix or Las Vegas, the South Rim is the most easily accessible from most major Western cities. Commuter flights are also offered into nearby Flagstaff, Arizona or Page-Lake Powell, Arizona.
I took the visit to South Rim from Las Vegas. There are plenty of tour operators who takes you there by bus. They have a day-long plan and also plans for camping and hiking depending on your needs. The day-trip ranges from $78 to $150 and covers morning snacks, lunch and water.
The pictures and videos shown here doesn’t justify the beauty of it at all.

The Native Indians Village Supai, The American Indian Tribes of Arizona
Although the Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the most visit-able and popular destinations, it still has its secrets. One of these is the Indian Village Supai or Havasupai located at the bottom of Havasu Canyon, possibly the most isolated village in the United States. The Havasupai people are an American Indian tribe who have lived in the Grand Canyon for at least the past 800 years and is the smallest Indian Nation in America, with about 600 people, This native american language speak Yuman. Havasu means “blue-green water” and pai “people”. The village has been inhabited by the Havasupai since A.D. 1300.
Tourism is the main source of revenue for the Havasupai tribal people. The town receives more than 20,000 visitors per year. The Tribe charges for entering its land, and visitors are required to reserve either a room at their lodge, or space at the campground for grand canyon camping. In the village of Supai itself has a store, cafe, lodge and museum for tourists. Havasupai Museum of Culture displays the history, native american culture, art and traditions of the Havasupai as well as hosts social gatherings, such as dance, feasts, art fairs and native american music festivals.
Havasupai Trail is the only trail to Supai. The trailhead is at Hualapai Hilltop, Arizona (located at the end of BIA Road 18), where there is a large parking lot, a helipad and portable toilets. The trail can be traveled by foot or horseback. Alternatively, transportation by helicopter is periodically available. As a means of survival, the tribal people has turned to tourism, attracting thousands of people annually to its streams and waterfalls.
Havasu Falls is located 2.4 km from Supai. It consists of one main chute that drops over a 27 to 30 meters vertical cliff into a large pool. Due to the high mineral content of the water, the configuration of the falls is ever-changing and sometimes breaks into two separate chutes of water. The falls are known for their natural pools, created by mineralization, although the configuration of the falls and the pools are damaged or destroyed repeatedly by large floods that wash through the area. High calcium carbonate concentration in the water creates the vivid blue-green color and forms the natural travertine dams that occur in various places near the falls. Havasu Creek is the life blood of the Havasupai tribe and their main source of tourism revenue.
Mooney Falls, The Falls are located 2.25 miles from Supai, just past the campgrounds. The trail leads to the top of the falls, where there is a lookout/photograph area that overlooks the 210-foot canyon wall that the waterfall cascades over. In order to gain access to the bottom of the falls and its pool, a very rugged and dangerous descent is required. Extreme care and discretion for the following portion is required; it is highly exposed and should not be attempted when the weather and/or conditions are not suitable.

Havasupai : Randonnée de 16 km. Village de Supai, puis découverte des chutes : Rock Falls, Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls et Beaver Falls. Amazing ! (signifiant « le peuple des eaux bleu-vert ») est le nom d'une tribu amérindienne vivant dans le nord-ouest de l'État de l'Arizona aux États-Unis.
La renommée des Havasupai provient notamment du fait qu'ils sont les seuls habitants vivant en permanence dans le Grand Canyon. Les plans d'eau à la coloration turquoise intense et les splendides chutes d'eau qui se trouvent sur leur territoire ont aussi contribué à leur célébrité et attirent des milliers de visiteurs à longueur d'année.
La tribu Havasupai comprend actuellement environ 650 personnes qui vivent dans une réserve située dans le comté de Coconino, au sud-ouest du parc national du Grand Canyon. 450 personnes vivent dans la capitale de la réserve, Supai, qui est située au fond du canyon1. La ville la plus proche de la réserve est Peach Springs, à 100 kilomètres au sud-ouest de Hualapai Hilltop, la plate-forme rocheuse qui surplombe le canyon au départ de la piste Havasupai (en anglais : Havasupai Trail) qui permet de rejoindre Supai et les chutes d'eau.
Grand Canyon : Rim trail + Descente du sentier «South Kaibab». Randonnée jusqu'au point de vue «Cedar Ridge». La gorge a été creusée par le fleuve Colorado dans le plateau du même nom. Fondé en 1919, le Parc National du Grand Canyon couvre un territoire protégé de 4 927 km2. Il est fréquenté chaque année par plus de quatre millions de visiteurs. La diversité et la singularité naturelle et paysagère du site l'ont fait reconnaître patrimoine mondial de l’Humanité par l’UNESCO en 1979.
Lake Powell : il fait partie du Glen Canyon National Recreation Area mais ne représente que 13% du parc, malgré sa surface. Les eaux du lac Powell sont très claires et peuvent atteindre 170 mètres de profondeur. Le lac est devenu une zone de loisirs très fréquentée. De nombreuses activités nautiques y sont proposées, principalement au départ de la Marina de Wahweap, à quelques kilomètres de Page.
Bryce Canyon : D'une superficie de 145 km2, le parc est renommé pour ses formations géologiques composées de roches colorées aux formes coniques et âgées de dizaines de millions d'années.
Zion national park : La faune du parc est riche de 78 espèces de mammifères, 291 espèces d'oiseaux, 44 espèces de reptiles et d'amphibiens et de huit espèces de poissons. Plus de 900 espèces de plantes sont présentes dans le parc allant des cactus dans les zones désertiques aux forêts de conifères dans les zones montagneuses.
The Narrows : (littéralement « Passage étroit ») est le nom donné à une section d'une gorge creusée par le cours d’eau North Fork of the Virgin River à l’intérieur du parc national de Zion au sud-ouest de l’Utah. Il s’agit également du nom donné au sentier de randonnée du parc qui permet de suivre la rivière dans cette section du canyon de Zion. La randonnée se fait en grande partie dans les eaux de la rivière.
Angels Landing : situé au sud-ouest de l'État américain de l'Utah, est un des sommets (1 763 mètres) les plus connus du parc national de Zion.
