READ score 6
Read the text below and write T for True or F for False.

Havasu Falls are in the Havasu Canyon next to the Grand Canyon in the southwestern USA.
There are actually three waterfalls in the area: Havasu, Mooney and Navajo. The waterfalls are
in the Havasupai Indian Reservation, the home of the Havasupai people. ‘Havasupai’ means
‘people of the blue-green waters.’

The best time to visit the falls is in spring, in the months of April and May because the weather
is cool, but it is warm enough to swim. Later, in summer, it gets hot and rainy and there can be
floods, too. Visitors can camp in a campsite or stay at the Havasu Lodge. But you have to book
a room at the Lodge three or four months before you plan to go.

To reach the falls you start at the parking area at Hualapai Hilltop. From there you can walk,
ride a horse or fly in a helicopter to Supai village, 13 km away. From Supai village it is about 4
km to Mooney Falls.

You don’t have to be an experienced hiker to walk to the falls because the walk is safe, even
for beginners. However, you must be very careful because there are many dangerous cliffs.
There are also caves to explore on the way. It is a good idea to take water with you and to
watch out for rattlesnakes, too.

Whether you walk, ride a horse or take the helicopter, the impressive waterfalls and the
peaceful surroundings make this one of the most fascinating places you can visit. It is an
unforgettable experience.
