Leslie and Liz joined us as we headed to the trail head at Hue alipay Hilltop that was about 65 M from the hotel make sure to Gess up before you get there because there is nothing around the parking lot was full but we found a spot that was close to the trail head as we got closer to the trail head and the edge of the cliff you can see how steep the trail is as it lowers into the canyon getting to have a suply Falls is not for the faint of heart but trust me the journey is well worth it it is a 10m hike down into the canyon the trail to the falls is a mix of challenging terrain and breathtaking views you'll hike through narrow switchbacks Rocky paths and towering Cliffs all while being surrounded by the beauty of the Grand Canyon look at that that is beautiful as you make your way down be sure to take your time and soak in the stunning Landscapes surrounding you it was a beautiful morning with temperatures about 60° we started down the trail with excitement we met up with a team of donkeys the donkeys knew the trail and could care less if you were there or not we pushed along down into the canyon taking in the Tak miles but about 3 miles in the worst thing that could happen happened I put my foot down into a pile of rocks that shifted around my boot and as I tried to take it out the Rocks grabbed a hold of my boot and my leg would not let go I dropped like a sack of potatoes as a pain shot through me I thought I broke my ankle but they got me off the trail and once the shock and pain subsided I was able to get back on my feet and move it felt like a bad sprain but not a break Don grabbed my pack and carried his and mine and we continue the rest of the way for another s miles go without the [Music] pasture hey babe your Pac meal was a little just no I love you [Music] the trip down was slow but we finally got to the Supai Village the heart of have a Supai reservation letting us know we are only 2 miles to the campground The Village was a lot bigger than what I expected and the people there were super friendly the last 2 miles seemed like it took forever but once we saw the first waterfall our Jaws dropped the turquoise water of the Havasupai Falls
