Algae on Travertine, Havasu Falls - USE CODE "CNAB50" FOR
ORDERING
|
The Havasupai
Reservation on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is home to
some of the most spectacular falls
in the United States. It is a 10 mile hike to the falls - and boy
is it worth it, and you can camp or stay at the lodge. You will
generally see photos of the large falls flowing over travertine
with turqouise pools below. I found the finer details within the
region to be rich in images. My favorite is this photo of water
running over algae that has colonized a travertine wall. I hiked
to the falls with 11 other folks associated with the Arizona
Hydrological Society in May 1999. |
