For our last Anniversary night and next day, we decided to break up the trip to head back home by stopping in Havasu City. We always take advantage of some exploring wherever we go! During some searching online of things to do in Havasu City, we found beautiful pictures of Havasu falls come up, and seeing Havasu city was pretty much on the way, somehow we assumed the falls would be there too! Who wouldnt want to take in this breathtaking view of the falls? Unbeknownst to us, we found out as we checked into our motel that night that we were very far from them, about 3 hours. To look on the map, they actually are pretty close to where we were when we stayed IN the Grand Canyon, but there arent any direct roads to get there. It's several hours of a drive in a round about way to get to the falls and then Im pretty sure you'd have to hike in some! We were very disappointed to say the least, but quickly did some more research and found a visitor center of the area and thought we would start there, for our next lead! It wasn't until we got there.. that we realized this could be a several hour attraction in itself, so thats where we stayed! :-)
Havasu Falls
The Original London bridge was moved here!
There were several specialty shops and ice cream, paddle boat and kayak rental shops, a beautiful sidewalk all along the waters edge with ( I cant remember) 20-30 replicas of lighthouses that are in the country. I've loved lighthouses for years now, and enjoy when I can see one wherever I am!
We sat and chatted for awhile as we relaxed taking in the beautiful scenery.
We really enjoyed our 1st year Anniversary celebration together! It will be a trip I will never forget!
