Hiking Havasupai

My roommates and I decided to hike havasupai in one day. I believe the hike was a total of approximately 20 miles and my legs definitely felt it when we finished. I had blisters on my blisters. We camped at the top under the stars and then began our adventure early in the morning.

Stargazing the night before the hike- this is our camping spot :)

Brittany and I are fearful of the crawling things that might end up in our double size sleeping bag.

My roommate and I playing around in a cave near Mooney falls.

Finally reaching Havasupai Falls, yet not knowing I was but a few yards from the top of the waterfall. Absolutely beautiful scenery!

The whole gang in front of Havasupai Falls.

Hiking down to Mooney Falls

Getting down to Mooney Falls was quite a challenge. It was like rock climbing with a ladder at the end. I was glad we decided to make the hike down though because it was better than havasupai falls.
As I was saying....B-U-tiful!
The water was ice cold and i REFUSED to get in. Until I made it to the point where Dave was waiting for me and he insisted that I couldn't walk along the edge any longer (there was no more ledge) so I decided not to think about it and just JUMP! BRRR it was cold!
I don't know if you can see me but I am just to the left of the waterfall preparing to do my first-ever cliff jump! I wasn't so afraid of jumping in and hitting anything but I was afraid of the ice cold water.
My roommate caught me admiring the scenery, but it looks as though I am posing.
I just thought the water was a beautiful color.
