Top 10 Waterfalls in Arizona, United States

August 16, 2021 Brandee Mangan

The state of Arizona is one that features a fantastic diversity of landscapes and areas of geological interest. North Arizona is famous for the Grand Canyon, a colorful chasm with steep rocky walls more than a mile deep and stretching some 277 miles alongside the Colorado River. Other notable destinations in North Arizona include Flagstaff set alongside the San Francisco Peaks which has the largest ponderosa pine forest, Museum of Northern Arizona, and is close to a number of national parks and monuments. On the south side of Arizona lies the city of Phoenix, the largest in Arizona. Notable day trips in Phoenix include the Heard Museum which is one of America's largest collections of Native American art, Phoenix Museum of History, as well as the Desert Botanical garden which has a great collection of desert plants.

Reviewed By Awebby84 - Rochester, United States

Havasu Falls

Breathtaking waterfalls amid a beautiful surrounding area.

Reviewed By GeethaSujith

Havasupai is breathtaking. Videos and Photos can’t compare to that moment you first see it from the trail with your own eyes! We hiked in hot weather, chilly weather, rain and hailstorm as well. Hiking in to the canyon is so magical and beautiful experience of exploring the nature's wonderland. Trail Name: Havasupai Trailhead (located at the Hualapai Hilltop Parking Lot Area) Havasupai Trailhead Elevation: 5,174 feet starting at Hualapai Hilltop Type of Trail: Out-and-Back Distance: Roughly 35 miles roundtrip (Including all 5 falls). When we heard the sound of the water it was like angels singing us a song and we knew we were close to camp! The water color looks fake in photos/videos, but when you see it with your own eyes..it leaves you speechless. Colors and massive size of Falls is everything you would ever dream of from a waterfall. Camping alongside river , listening to birds chirping, water flow sound, no network, no electricity.. Gives you the best time to talk to yourself and enjoy the nature in this busy world. MAGICAL PARADISE ! Worth every step Video link in my bio

Havasupai Falls

Often called the "Shangri-la of the Grand Canyon," visitors can hike, camp or just soak up the sun around these beautiful falls where rushing water spills from red cliffs into brilliant aquamarine pools.

Beautiful place. Way less people here. Much more quiet, and a great little place to take pictures. Beautiful blue water, and worth the trek down.

Grand Falls of the Little Colorado River

Reviewed By Campbell2 - Winslow, United States

I was told about this place by a Park Ranger at the Grand Canyon last year. He advised to go the second week in March to see the best of the Little Colrado abd the flow of the Grand Falls. The road is rutted with some gravel, dirt and goes through reservation area. Animals, suc as wild horses will come right up your vehicle. You can hear the falls from 500 yards away. Bring a picnic lunch and a camera and you will not be disappointment.

Tanque Verde Falls

Reviewed By westTrailrunner - Tucson, United States

The trail head is on the right hand side of the road, little tough to see as the sign sits back the trail head a few yards. Single wide trail but very easy, without my rocks to climb over. Just before you get to the falls you can find a rock out cropping to sit on have lunch with a great view of the falls and beach below. If you can handle a little more rocky trail, just west of this trial head is a trail down to the creak bed far below the falls. Very nice beach below the falls and place to relax and get wet most times of the year
