Take A Magical Waterfall Hike In Arizona To Grand Falls, If You Can Find It
Almost every Arizonan knows about Grand Falls, but far fewer have actually visited. Tucked away on sacred Navajo land, this awe-inspiring natural wonder is a must-visit for anyone who loves waterfall hikes.

This breathtaking natural wonder tucked away in a remote area of the Navajo Nation is one of the most incredible sights you'll ever lay eyes on—if you can find it, that is.

A high-clearance vehicle is ideal, but if you have a sedan, just make sure to drive really slowly (under five miles per hour).

There isn't a designated "trail" per se; just a rugged path that cuts through the canyonlands.

A fair amount of rock scrambling is required to reach the base of the falls, but the awe-inspiring views that await are worth the effort.


It's like a real-life Willy Wonka feature!

It's decidedly less tiring, but the views are no less stellar.

As summertime approaches, they start to dry up—still a beautiful sight, just slightly less so.
Please note: Grand Falls is currently closed, but we’re eagerly awaiting the day it opens back up! You’ll need a Navajo Nation permit to access the trail when visitors are once again permitted.
