So if you decided to hike to Havasu Falls, you probably already started to think about what you should take with you on your trip. To help you to get an idea of what may be useful there, I decided to share our list of some of the things that were helpful during the trip.
You DON’T HAVE to buy exact same things if you don’t like or need them. This is our list and your list may vary. But I still hope it will be useful for some of you.
Great inexpensive tent. Simple. Light. Easy to pack and easy to set up. 5 stars.
TETON Sports Explorer 4000 Internal Frame Backpack, Metallic Silver
Worked very well for a 25 mile hike (round trip). It has enough room to pack everything you need. High quality and lots of pockets 🙂 We loved it.
Salewa Women’s Wildfire S GTX Technical Approach Shoe, Black/Emerald
Hands down, these are my favorite. First of all, they are really good looking shoes. Boots provide amazing support for a low-cut shoe. They are very comfortable and simply do their job. Perfect for hiking, rock climbing.
Teva Women’s Tirra Water Sandals
Necessary for swimming and walking in the river. I love them because you can easily adjust them to fit perfect. I tested them in Havasu for 4 days = no blisters.
Salomon Men’s Speedcross 3 Trail Running Shoe,Black/Black/Silver Metallic-X
Arthur’s favorite hiking shoes. He loves them.
Another perfect backpack for long hikes.
Hydro Flask Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle, Wide Mouth, 40-Ounce, Classic Stainless
I tried many insulated water bottles but Hydro Flask is the best one.
Boli 10 Litres Collapsible Water Tank Water Container Water Carrier- Food Grade
We used it to carry the water from the natural spring to our camp side.
niceEshop(TM) TPU Bicycle Camping Hiking Climbing Hydration Water Bladder Bag(Blue)
LifeStraw Go Water Bottle with Integrated 1000-Liter LifeStraw Filter
Essential to have for walking at night. By the way, there’s no electricity in the bathrooms, so this headlamp is a MUST HAVE!
Ultimate Survival Technologies 30-Day Lantern, Black/Glo
Coleman All Purpose First Aid Tin 27-Piece, Metal Tin
or
Anker 14W Dual-Port Solar Charger with PowerIQ Technology

Love reading about your trip-my daughter who is 20 and quite an adventurer wants our family of 4 to do this, but dumb question – do I have to stay and camp overnight or can I go down see the falls and come back?? You’re probably laughing at me that I’ll be so exhausted I won’t be able to hike back out and you’re probably right!😂
Would appreciate any comments thank you so much!!

Hey Wendy! Just finished up my trip to havasupai and to answer your question…you need reservations. They do not allow day hikers. You will need to check in at the office to receive your bracelet before being allowed entrance to the campground ls

In my opinion, it’s not a good idea. It’s better to reserve your spot and stay there for at least 2 days.

I have not done any real hiking. However I am looking into taking this trip in the near future. As a new hiker, what tips can you give? What are the most important things for me to know? What foods do you bring? Etc.
