This is a photo of me horseback riding along the trail we took to visit Havasupai and Mooney Falls. The temperature was about 95 degrees and the heat was reflected back at us for the most part off of the rocky canyon walls and the dusty trail. The landscape was ever changing and mainly filled with either bright canyon colors or the drab monotones of rock and sand. The ride took well over an hour before we heard the rush of water that was unmistakably the sound of a waterfall. As we rode along it was hard to believe any such thing could exist in these surrondings. Our guide was very personable and we learned a great deal about the ancient history and current events of his people. We had a tremendous feeling of the sacred nature of the land.
