Well, this video was years in the making. And it's a beast. I scrubbed through about 8 hours of footage I filmed during four separate trips to Havasupai to create the ultimate guide to Havasupai. I know this place is a draw for people all over the world and there are lots and lots of questions. Hopefully this resource makes planning your trip easier.

DISCLAIMER: There is a TON of information, so although I did my best, I'm sure I missed something. I may even be wrong on a couple things. And they are CONSTANTLY changing the rules and other specifics. So as a disclaimer, you should always consult the Havasupai Tribe for the official rules and regulations. They're in charge. You're responsible for yourself and I'm just some random dude on the internet. Hiking is dangerous. The wilderness is full of wild animals and unpredictable weather and all that stuff. So....yeah. Don't blame me.

Anyway, here are some resources and other info. I know it seems like a lot, but it's absolutely worth it. Good luck getting permits and have a safe trip.

Chapters in case you only have a specific question. Just skip through the video and don't feel bad that it took me about 8 years to film and 3 weeks to edit. I'll be OK, I swear.
