Well I can tell you that I am a bit disappointed. I had great plans all lined up to hike Havasupai Falls and do some serious photography down there and so I had been planning on this for quite a while. I even had a rough time set up to do it.
So I finally called to set up reservations because it seems that March really is an off time down there so I might as well make the effort to seal the deal. Well I was in for a surprise.
I looked up the phone number, and found that getting down there was not available at all. The problem is that reservations aren't full (this is usually my great luck) but they aren't available because of major flooding that occurred last August. Wow. They are trying to get everything built back up but they aren't going to be able to open until May 1, 2009 at best. I bet they are really hurting not having the tourist dollars coming in. Wow.
So Alison and I will have to bank on the family trip down there later, which isn't a bad idea for me. Just amazing that in that narrow canyon area, there is actually flooding that occurs. They warn about it all the time, but honestly, who believes them that it will actually occur! Well it does, and in their case, when it rained, it definitely poured!
