Facts About Havasu Waterfall

Havasu water falls are located somewhere in the middle of the huge cliffs and ridges of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. This waterfall is a part of the Havasupai Indian reservation and are part of the Havasu Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River.

Before 1910 water flowed along the whole cliff lining in multiple streams but due to some major floods the geography of the water fall has changed considerably and now water flows from just one point in a single stream.

Before 1910, this water fall was known as the Bridal Veil Fall.

The water fall is not very high and has an estimated height of 27-30 meters.

The high presence of Limestone and Magnesium in the waterfall’s reservoir gives the water a green-blue appearance.

Havasu waterfall is part of the Havasupai Indian Reservation.

“Havasupai” means people of “blue-green” waters.
