Famous Route 66, AZ


On my way to Havasupai Indian Reservation in Grand Canyon, AZ following famous Route 66, we stopped at this extraordinary place. Hackberry General Store is a museum-gift store of old Route 66 located about 25 miles from the Kingman, AZ.

Havasupai, Grand Canyon, AZ (Part 2.Waterfalls)


The hike from Hilltop to Supai Village was just the beginning of adventure. Another 2 mile hike beyond the village will take you to the paradise on the Earth. You can explore 5 fantastic waterfalls, they are all different, each has its own "personality" and incredible views.

During our trip to Havasupai Indian Reservation one of my friends spotted  an old mine in Carbonite Canyon near Havasu Falls. We asked locals about it and a woman said that it was silver mine but she wasn't sure.  After i came back home i tried to find  what kind of mine it was on the internet. The only information i found was that during the late 1800s and early 1900s, miners searched for minerals throughout the Havasupai area. Most of the major activity took place in Carbonate Canyon near Havasu Falls, but tunnels and other evidence of mining activity can be found all along Havasu Creek from Havasu Falls to the Colorado River.

That was another lifetime trip. Magnificent Grand Canyon. Many of you probably have been to Grand Canyon Village or Skywalk and observed the canyon from the top. But did you think that people still live there? Yes, i am talking about real Indians - Native Americans.

When i found out about this fact i could not resist to go there and see it on my own.
