The most enjoyable part of this trip for Lisa was the spectacular hike up Havasu Creek.

Deep in the grapevines in this oasis in the desert.

Making one of the many creek crossings on the lower sections of Havasu.

Beaver Falls about four miles into the hike.

One of the beautiful Travertine Falls in Havasu Creek. The water in Havasu Creek is rich in calcium and as carbon dioxide is released, Travertine precipitates to form these incredible dams.

Mooney Falls, a mile and a half above Beaver Falls, is truly one of the gems of Grand Canyon.

The water of Havasu Creek tumbles 180 feet over Mooney Falls.

Another mile or so above Mooney Falls is Havasu Falls (90 feet high).

It doesn't get much prettier than this.

Lisa almost at the end of the 15+ mile hike from the Colorado River. Pretty good for someone 3 months pregnant.
