June Reservation Holders
Check-in for ALL permit reservations (campground and lodge) takes place at Grand Canyon Caverns Inn, located at Mile Marker 115, Route 66 near Seligman, Arizona 86434. The trip leader MUST check-in for all members of their group, beginning the day before your arrival date and no later than noon on the first day of your reservation. Failure to do so will result in your reservation being cancelled. No refunds or rescheduling of dates will be issued.
The check-in office is located on the right-hand side of the GCCI lobby when you walk in the main doors. There will be signs.
The trip leader will need to provide photo ID to receive all permits, wristbands, bag tags, and an entrance form, which will need to be completed and shown to the Havasupai Reservation boundary checkpoint staff.
All members of the group will be asked to show all required paperwork (including acceptance of the terms and conditions, screenshot will work) at the Havasupai Reservation boundary checkpoint, approximately 5 miles from Hilltop (the trailhead). There will be no congregating at the checkpoint so please make sure all members of your group have the required paperwork.
You must check-in for your reservation the day before and no later than noon on the first day of your reservation. You can start the hike on any day of your reservation, and you must depart on or before the last day of your reservation. There is no refund for unused days.
The trail is open for hiking 24 hours a day. Please use caution as assistance may not be readily available during non-business hours.
It is the responsibility of each tourist to bring the necessary gear and equipment for camping. The tribe does not offer or sell tents, sleeping bags, heaters or other camping supplies. The store stocks a limited number of food items, but you should bring your own food, water, etc. Plan accordingly for changes in weather, the Reservation can experience high and low temperatures, wind, rain and snow.
Please respect the sovereignty of the Havasupai Tribe and abide by all posted signage and instructions from the rangers. Only hike in designated areas.
PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT
To address the issue of tourists leaving trash and gear in the canyon, the tribe has authorized a civil citation and fine of up to $1,000. Individuals will be cited for failure to take all their trash and gear out of the canyon. Leave no trace (Pack It In, Pack It Out). Please help keep the Havasupai lands clean. The cost to remove tourist trash and gear by helicopter is substantial. You are responsible for taking out what you bring in!
Please note that public buying and/or selling of reservations, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.
People included on your reservation may reimburse you for up to the face value cost of their spot on your reservation. A reservation is a limited license that does NOT include private resale or purchase for greater than face value cost and does NOT include public resale or purchase of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to, any or all public facilitating, brokering, offering, or responding to requests for reservations, in whole or in part, on any platform, including, but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, etc. Penalties include, but are not limited to, the entire reservation being canceled with no refund and a permanent ban from Havasupai.
If you require a pack mule for your visit to Havasupai, you must reserve online BEFORE your visit. A minimum of 48-72 hours in advance is recommended. ALL Pack Mules must be reserved in advance of your visit at the Tribe's official reservation page, www.HavasupaiReservations.com for campground reservations and www.HavasupaiLodge.com for lodge reservations. Your email confirmation will include instructions on how to properly label your bags.
Note that a pack mule reservation cannot be split across different days. Reservations are only valid for dates in and out booked. Mule reservations are booked for one mule for a specific day. If part of your group leaves early, then they have to pay for another pack mule reservation for a new day.
Confirmed Pack Mule Reservations are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-changeable. Reselling of reservations (in whole or in part) is strictly prohibited.
