About this swimming hole
A 100-foot curtain of water pouring into impossibly blue-green travertine pools, on the Havasupai Reservation deep in the Grand Canyon. The mineral-rich water stays about 70 degrees and the setting is otherworldly. Access requires a hard-won tribal permit, a 10-mile hike each way, and serious planning.
