It doesn’t require much effort to find beauty in Arizona. A quick look around most of the state will present you with some stunning scenery that will leave a lasting impression on just about everyone who visits. But if there’s any place that seems to drop more jaws than others, it has to be the Grand Canyon.
Yup, this place.

That spot would be Havasu Falls.
Jon Roig/Flickr Also frequently referred to as Havasupai Falls, this waterfall is one of many located within the canyon and one of several located along the scenic Havasu Creek. It is the third waterfall you will encounter in the canyon and the one that seems to attract the most visitors every year.
Its bright turquoise waters contrast perfectly with the red travertine walls, making this look like paradise.

Ah, can you imagine swimming here after a long hike, feeling the mist and listening to the roaring waters? That sounds absolutely perfect!
