Havasupai Indian Reservation Attractions
In the canyon of Havasu Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River, some 450 Havasupai Indians (the "people of the blue-green water") live a secluded life, subsisting on their modest farming activities but now mainly dependent on the tourist trade. In this paradisiac valley the Havasu has created a number of waterfalls and carved out basins in the travertine rock which form attractive bathing pools.
