Havasupai Trail is the main line to Supai, Arizona, and to Havasu Falls. There are other avenues, like the Topocoba, Moqui, and Kirby lines. However, this other path is not maintained. As far back as 1976, they were described as ranging from "in poor repair" to "primitive, dangerous footprints." Special permission is required to use such traces.

Trajectory
The trail is located at Hualapai Hilltop (located at the end of BIA Road 18), where there is a large parking lot, permanent toilets and toilets that include facilities such as toilet paper and hand sanitizer. This trail can be reached on foot, horseback, or mule service offered by Havasupai. The mule service can also be purchased only for luggage/packages, which allows easier climbing and reduced luxury capabilities. The trail starts at the top of the hill, where it alternates on the side of the canyon for about a mile. This is the hardest part of the trail, and much more difficult on the way back. The trail is about 8 miles (13 km) long to Supai, with an additional 2 miles (3.2 km) added to reach the camp, and down about 2,000 feet (610 m).
The switch-back stops when the plateau is reached, a point marked by a small resting place made of stone and cement. The trail then leads down from the plateau into a dry streambed. Caution should always be taken when entering a dry streambed in any desert, as this is the main place for banjir bandang. The trail follows the descending path. There are several paths leading to the washing of these small canyons, but they all point to the same place and never deviate more than 30 feet (9 m) from each other. This trail meandered under this streambed for about 5 miles (8.0 km) until the canyon began to open into another valley. This place is marked by dramatic increase in vegetation. Follow the path through the new canyon to the left.
The trail will take you to the river where you will find the bridge. Trace across the bridge, so get into Supai town. Stay on the road and respect the fence because the land behind them is private property. The trail goes into the main city, where it first meets a small shop selling drinks, ice cream, candy, food, and other snacks. Straight forward lies the rodeo corral where there is usually a bulls penned-up. The trail leads to the town square where all public buildings are located. The trail then passes through the city along the canyon wall to the right. This trail makes a clear right turn and enters more vegetation. After leaving the vegetation, trail follow the canyon to the left.
After a really small canyon (here's where Navajo Waterfall used to be and now where two nameless waterfalls just mentioned are since the big floods changed that area in 2008, Navajo Waterfall) the path started toward the river, which in the end it crosses twice, more than two small separate bridges. After passing the bridge, the path leads to the top of Havasu Falls. Then move towards the canyon wall on the left, finally hug him. On the right side of the path is a cliff next to Havasu Falls, where there is a great spot for photographs of the waterfall. There are handrails on the right side to help prevent falling. The trail led down and into the camp. The camp is about half a mile (nearly a kilometer) long and offers many campsites, ranging from groups to single sizes. There is a small spring located in the middle of a camp which offers fresh water (the Tribe recommends water treatments, such as by boiling, filtering, etc.). This campground has many composting toilets and picnic tables. The tribe asks to pack all the garbage and does not allow bonfire. The trail then passes through the camp and ends at Mooney Falls.
