Overlooking Hualapai Canyon from Hilltop. Supai Village will be to the right.

Two hikers ready to go the 8 miles down to Supai Village!

 |
The start of the trail down
|
|
 |
Only a few hundred yards down, we are passed by horses on the way up. We'll see lots of horses and mules on this hike!
|
|
 |
A bicylclist passes us on the way down. He's taking a new bike down to the village.
|
|
 |
It might look hard to bike here, but it was sandy, loose and almost flat for miles in the wash below.

This helicopter flew back and forth constantly, delivering people and supplies

Our first sighting of a waterfall on Supai Creek. It's not very big, but it's pretty!
|
|
 |
These falls were much bigger and prettier! ...
|
|
 |
...They are the New Navajo Falls. The original was destroyed in a flash flood in August 2008. We'll get a better look in the morning.

 |
The far end of the irrigation ditch is almost dry
