Where the Waterfalls Are

Flagstaff sits in or near the Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau area of Arizona. The canyon country of northern Arizona holds the state's most famous falls. Havasu Falls and Beaver Falls lie in Havasu Canyon on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, where mineral-rich spring water builds travertine and colors the pools a striking blue-green. Inside Grand Canyon National Park, Ribbon Falls and Deer Creek Falls reward long inner-canyon hikes or river trips, while Cheyava Falls flows only seasonally. On the Navajo Nation northeast of Flagstaff, Grand Falls is a broad series of drops on the Little Colorado River that runs muddy brown when it runs at all. Mohave County adds remote canyon falls near Peach Springs and Meadview on the western end of the canyon. Read the Arizona waterfall guide.
