Backpacking Trip: Havasupai (Spring Break '10)

Alright, heading out on another backpacking trip again.

First day I'm going down a big hill...fun...
Last day I'm going back up the big hill...even more fun...

Heres a screenshot of our first day's hike.



Should be real cool. I've heard alot of stuff about Havasupai.

While I had the screen capture out...
What an unfortunate shaped building!

Very nice Durkee!!!

cool! Ive wanted to do some here in maine..we have many miles of trails....i might go hike Mt. Katadin this summer...

Off topic, but where is that building??? I've tried for ages to find it on Google Earth (San Fransisco area, I think?).

cool trip, I don't see how you could get down the cliff, or am I seeing things wrong?

There are coordinates on the bottom..if google lets you do that

I have found so many "Watch your language" up places on google maps. Like a broken down plane with hobos living in it. There are apparently three dead people on it somewhere. and theres an oil rig in iraq exploding xD

San Diego.

I'm back! Was absolutely amazing.
FYI, that picture is labelled wrong...thats just the first mile...

Heres a picture of the first day (9 miles):


Will post pictures/videos.

All kinds of fun stuff.
Talked to some Supai indians that were marines...watched them airlifting medical supplies into the village via heli...free-climbed up Mooney falls...

Some crazy stuff. This was by far my favorite trek.

Naw, they go by "indians". The tribal logo and seal has "Supai indian reservation" on it hehe.
Trust me, they're beyond caring.

Heres just a few pictures from the trip...some of the highlights. The rest are going to be posted on Facebook.
