About this spot
Navajo Falls sits about half a mile upstream from Havasu Falls, split into Upper and Lower tiers after a 2008 flash flood rerouted Havasu Creek. Upper Navajo Falls flows into a deep, calm pool popular for swimming and floating, including a hidden alcove you can swim behind. Lower Navajo Falls is shorter, and some hikers jump from it, but the creek bed shifts with the water flow, so scout depth carefully before jumping. The Havasupai Tribe officially bans cliff jumping reservation-wide, and submerged rocks are not always visible. Entry requires a paid tribal permit and reservation, reached via the 8-10 mile hike into Havasu Canyon from Hualapai Hilltop.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
