Havasu Falls — the famous waterfall located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon near the remote village of Supai, Arizona — is reopening after a three-year closure.The location is arguably one of the most beautiful places you can hike to in Arizona, and it's the ancestral home of the Havasupai Tribe. Permits were hard to come by even before the pandemic, when the Instagram-famous location shut down to protect the health of the tribe that resides there. That shutdown has lasted for three years due to the pandemic and a series of setbacks — including a devastating flood in October 2022 due to heavy rains.
