This is the group as we began to hike at 4:30 pm on Sunday evening. We all had back packs of around 30-35 lbs., except for Karen. It wasn't too hot, and it wasn't long before we were in the canyon hiking in the shade. We arrived at the campground around 8:30 pm. It was dark the last hour of hiking which made it seem harder.
Monday morning we got up and went up to Navajo Falls. We were the only ones there the whole time we played in the falls and pool. It was really fun there and so pretty. Then we went down to Havasu Falls. There were 4 other people there. The kids jumped off a few rocks/cliffs and played in the pools. Then they went down river to our campsite.
We ate lunch and then hiked down to Mooney Falls. It it such a great hike down. Through tunnels and repelling down chains and then ladders to the bottom. Mooney is amazing with all of it power and the mist it creates. It reminded all of us of Niagra Falls and the Maid of the Mist boat ride.
We hiked down river from Mooney to another place called "the showers." We went back to our camp, had dinner and then had a FHE about Grand-dad and Grandma Harriet. Then we all went in the largest tent (a three person) and played the name game and just talked. We were trying to escape from the bugs. We headed to bed because we wanted to get up at 4:30 to pack up and get on our way. We left at 6:30 to hike out. We sent our packs out on the mules though.We arrived up at the top at about 10:45 give or take. It was a really fun hike and time together.
