Garmin Report post Posted April 12, 2016 <p>Thinking of getting away this summer? Weâve narrowed down our two favorite waterfalls in North America that wonât disappoint. With so many places to explore and discover, it was a hard decision, but we believe both of these settings are perfect for a relaxing summer getaway.</p> <p><strong>Havasu Falls</strong></p> <p><img class=" wp-image-24433" src="https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2-300x200.jpg" alt="Grand Canyon, Havasupai Indian Reservation, amazing havasu falls in Arizona; Shutterstock ID 272437793; PO: Jake Martin; Job: Rec-Outdoor" width="403" height="268" srcset="https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px" /></p> <p>Havasu is known for its colorful landscape, natural pools, and vivid blue green water. Hidden in the Grand Canyon, Havasu Falls is popular amongst hikers and photographers. Itâs part of the Havasupai American Indian Reservation and the name Havasupai means âpeople of the blue-green waterâ. The falls require a 10-mile hike in either direction, but once you arrive, you will understand why Havasu Falls is one of the most popular natural attractions on the planet. The hike starts at Hualapai Hilltop, which is a hundred miles from civilization. Make sure you are well equipped before you get there and be prepared to be amazed!</p> <p><strong>Waimoku Falls</strong></p> <p><img class=" wp-image-24434" src="https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/3-300x200.jpg" alt="The Waimoku Falls in Haleakala National park in Maui; Shutterstock ID 215371753; PO: Jake Martin; Job: Rec-Outdoor" width="403" height="268" srcset="https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/3.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px" /></p> <p>This towering 400 ft. high waterfall will leave you in awe once you witness its magnitude. Located in Maui, Hawaii, the Waimoku falls are a 2-mile hike on the Pipiwai Trail from Haleakala National Park up to the base of the falls. On the hike youâll experience several other waterfalls and a scenic walkway through a thick dark bamboo forest that youâll never forget. The Waimoku Falls are a popular destination for tourists, but the experience can be life changing. Waimoku Falls contains trails that can be muddy and moderately difficult so remember to plan ahead and take the appropriate gear.</p> <p>These are only a few amazing places to explore this summer, with tons more to choose from.
