Dates Visited: Saturday March 10th – Sunday March 11th, 2018
Weather: Cloudy but warm enough to hike in shorts and tank. Water temp was in the mid 60’s. Rained all Saturday night.
Crowd: We were able to go to each falls with only a few people around. By the end of the day, the campground was filled up so make sure to get there early to get a good spot!
Hike In
Havasupai Falls
Mooney Falls
Beaver Falls
Campground
How to get to the trail head: Put “Hualapai Hilltop” into apple or google maps. The trailhead will be at the very end-past the helicopter pad-by the bathrooms and office.
Permits: You HAVE to get a permit which can be purchased here.
Pricing for 2018 is as follows and includes all necessary permits, fees, and taxes:
One Person, 2 Days / 1 Night: $140.56
One Person, 3 Days / 2 Nights: $171.12
One Person, 4 Days / 3 Nights: $201.67
(Weekend nights (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), Holiday weekday nights (February 19, May 28, July 4, September 3, October 8), and Spring Break weekday nights (March 5-8 and 19-22) are an additional $18.34 per night.)
They are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE.
No day hiking is permitted – all visits require at least a one night reservation made prior to arrival.
We ended up getting the 2 day / 1 night permit and were able to go to all the falls the first day but had to hike 16 miles in one day. I recommend getting a 2 night permit, as it is very tiring to do it all in two days.

When should I start my hike? 🕗 The earlier the better! The hike down to the campground is about 10 miles and takes about 4.5-5 hours depending on how quick of a hiker you are. (It is also all downhill/flat ground.) You have to check in at the village before you get to the campground so depending on how busy they are if could take longer.
