What it's about
Discover Cheyava Falls, Arizona’s highest waterfall, hidden in the Grand Canyon. Experience its breathtaking 800-foot drop during the spring or after heavy rains.
Details:
Location: Nestled in the heart of Grand Canyon National Park, Cheyava Falls flows from the North Rim into the Colorado River. It’s a less-traveled gem compared to Havasu Falls, offering a unique, serene experience.
Formation: The waterfall is a spectacle, especially after winter or significant rainfall, cascading over Redwall Limestone with a 400-foot drop, followed by another 400 feet into Clear Creek.
Best Time to Visit: Springtime, particularly from April to June, is ideal, thanks to the melting winter snow. Autumn visits can also be rewarding, though the waterfall’s flow is more variable.
