Heaven on Earth

Yes, it does exist. And it's just in Arizona, if you're willing to hike to it...
We flew into Las Vegas and spent there a night a a part of the morning. For those looking for the best meal of their lives, I recommend the Bellagio's breakfast buffet that overflows with fantastic food and mimosas, which proved to be very satisfying before the next night...

Since the closest hotel to the beginning of the trail was 3 hours away, we decided to camp in front of our rental car to avoid getting up at 3 am to make the drive! Right, Melissa? First time sleeping under the stars, it was pretty amazing. 


Good thing we got some rest for the hike ahead in the incredibly hot weather.
Mules, mules everywhere...
Hiking through the Havasupai tribe village. We thought we were so close, but oh how wrong we were...
Is this it? You would think so since it looks amazing. Just some falls we passed on our way down the canyon...
Finally, bathing in the lower pools of the Havasupai. Amazingly clear, cool water, just what I needed after almost dying to get here!
Incredible Havasupai Falls...
Ahh... A nap is in order after such a busy day! The key is for the girls to nap and for the boys to set up camp.
Mooney Falls. 200 feet of amazing.
Helicopter out from the village back to civilization. It's either that or walking for hours again, and though I love hiking, after that big, home-made burrito I had for breakfast, I was every more glad to take the very first ever helicopter ride! What an adventure! Looking at the top of the canyon was truly amazing.
