For the last stop on this list, you will be brought to the Havasu Creek, located in the Grand Canyon, Arizona. This stop is a definite crowd pleaser because of its location in one of the world's great wonders, and thus attracts a lot of attention as a local swimming hole for Americans to explore. This site is called Mooney Falls and is a waterfall which plummets over 200 feet into a swimming hole. The water here is Emerald in color and makes for a beautiful picture to put on your social media, however, it is located on the Havasupai reservation and as a result is a protected land that visitors are required to pay to enter. Typically the cost is approximately $50 plus tax, but this site is most definitely worth it, especially with the cultural significance and special land.
