“The trailhead is located at Hualapai Hilltop. The trail can be traveled by foot, by horseback, or on a mule service the Havasupai offer. The mule service can also be purchased for luggage/packs only, which allows an easier hike and the ability to bring down more luxuries. The trail starts out at the hilltop, where it switch-backs down the side of the canyon for about ¾ of a mile. This is by far the most difficult part of the trail, and is much more difficult on the way back up. The trail is approximately 8 miles long to Supai, with an extra 2 miles added on in order to reach the campgrounds.”

I sang a part of a quartet for a funeral as a favor for my friend’s friend. We kind of felt good about that, and so we sang for our church meeting, and for our friend’s church meeting. It was a great song, and I met some great people doing this. Although my legs were shaking and I was so nervous, I was glad to have my friends there to support me.

I went to Havasupai with a bunch of my friends. We hiked to some gorgeous waterfalls and just jumped off. These were only about 12 feet high, so it was pretty simple. BUT we hiked a little further to where there are 40 foot cliffs that we could jump. So, I closed my eyes, ran to the edge of the cliff, looked down and stopped…freaked out a little, backed up, and then ran off the cliff! The landing is kind of rough, but I did it! We even hiked back to the same cliffs the next day and I jumped off again!
The sad this is, there were some 35 foot cliffs that my friend decided that he wanted to try to do a back flip off of, over rotated, and ended up busting the capillaries in his lung (causing him to cough blood) and giving him a broken rib.
Jumping off a cliff is stupid enough! DON’T PRESS YOUR LUCK! I have a video of his jump and it makes me cringe! I am just happy that I didn’t videotape him dying. Just a warning!
