READ score 6
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 southwestern U.S.A. 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, 8 miles away. From Supai village it is about
2,5 miles 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.

Whether you walk, ride a horse or take the helicopter, the impressive waterfalls and the peaceful surroundings make this
one of the most fascinating places you can visit. It is an unforgettable experience.

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.
3. The Mooney Falls are just over 10 miles from the parking area.
4. The walk to the falls is dangerous for walkers without experience.
