Havasuapi Falls Day one April 1st.

So to do this hike you need a permit.  Permits are obtained through the website either in the yearly drawing.  It is held the 1st of February and tickets sell out quickly.  Seriously don't blink because they will be gone.  If you are more flexible with your dates you can get on the transfer list each morning at 8 am mountain time to try your luck at buying someone's tickets they can't use.  These also sell quickly.  So packing, I will say the lighter the better.  You're hiking 12 miles in to camp.  That bag gets heavy fast!you won't use half the stuff you pack!  

like that blue bag with a chair, carried it and never used it.  Clothes, you are not going to wear most of them.  

We stayed at the hotel in Peach Springs the night before.  Nice hotel.  We got up early so we could be ro trailhead for a early hike.  It is still over an hour from Peach Springs.  

it took us about 7 hours to hike in to camp with us taking breaks and stopping for pictures.  

By the end of the hike we were ready to get to camp, set up and just relax for the evening.  Here are some pictures from our hike in.
