Sunday service looks a little different when your Sunday service looks a little different when your church is carved by time and touched by sunlight. Worshiping where the earth meets the sky. 🌿✨

A $455 permit, a backpack full of gear, and 10 mil A $455 permit, a backpack full of gear, and 10 miles of canyon trail later… this is what’s waiting for you. The hike is long, the sun is brutal, and your legs will definitely feel it but the second you see that turquoise water crashing down Havasu Falls, you forget how tired you are. It’s one of those views that makes every step and every dollar completely worth it ✨

This was hands down one of the most challenging th This was hands down one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done. I hiked 16 miles solo through the Grand Canyon to Havasupai. I started before sunrise and walked in complete darkness with only a headlamp to beat the heat. My body was sore, my pack felt heavier by the mile, and I definitely questioned my life choices a few times 😅

But the views made it all worth it. Camping next to the creek, swimming in that turquoise water, and standing beneath the falls felt like something out of a dream. Havasupai is pure magic, and Arizona keeps reminding me why I love getting out and doing things that scare me a little. 🤟🏻

Follow me @milesawaywithjay — I’ll be sharing more from this trip soon, including what I packed, what I wish I didn’t, and everything I learned along the way. If you’ve been thinking about doing Havasupai solo (or just want to see more of Arizona’s wild beauty), you won’t want to miss it!
