1. Havasu Falls, Arizona
Havasu Falls is a waterfall of Havasu Creek, located in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA. It is within Havasupai tribal lands. The falls are known for their natural pools, created by mineralization, although the configuration of the falls and the pools are damaged or destroyed repeatedly by large floods that wash through the area. A small man-made dam was once constructed to help restore the pools and to preserve what is left. High calcium carbonate concentration in the water creates the vivid blue-green color and forms the natural travertine dams that occur in various places near the falls.
