This is the way Havasu Falls looked when I first saw them. These falls are in the Havasu campground and they are about 80 feet high. Every year the winter rains change how the falls look and some years a devastating flood occurs. The ponds you see here are formed by the tavertine deposits in the water. These ponds were destroyed one year and have never looked like this again, but little by little they reform. There are more recent pictures of these falls in this history. These are our seveth graders playing in the ponds at Havasu Falls many years ago. 1980 was the first year all eighty students backpacked down to Havasu campground instead of only some of them to Phantom Ranch.
