Trip to Grand Canyon / Havasu Falls
I am currently trying to plan a trip to the Grand Canyon (never been!), and while there I would like to make the hike to Havasu falls. Unfortunately, it is really hard - for me, at least - to find current information on how to do this; most of the articles/blogs about Havasu falls are almost ten years old!
So my questions are the following:
- What is a good time to visit the Grand Canyon? I would prefer to avoid "busy" season (though I'm sure the Grand Canyon is always busy).
- I will be traveling from NY; what is the best place to fly into / where should I stay to maximize the closeness / cost ratio?
- How do I get to Havasu falls? I want to do the 10 mile hike, but do I need a guide? If so, where can I procure one? If not, how will I know where I'm going?
