READ

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 dont 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.

1. Havasu is one of the three waterfalls in the Grand Canyon.

2. The months of July and August are not a good time to visit the falls.
