The 10 Best Waterfalls in Arizona

Havasu: the blue-green legend at the end of ten canyon miles and the country's most coveted permit — $455 buys three nights in a dream.

Beaver: Havasu Creek's final terraces, three fords and a ladder past where most permits stop.

Navajo Falls: the 2008 flood's replacement pair — the quiet swimming most hikers walk past.

Ribbon Falls: the sacred travertine cone of the inner gorge — mind the North Kaibab's late-2026 construction closure and come via Phantom if needed.

Deer Creek: a hundred-foot jet firing from a sandstone wall to the Colorado's edge — raft in, or earn the Bill Hall backpack.

Seven Falls in Sabino Canyon: Tucson's granite staircase of pools, tram-assisted, best in snowmelt spring.

Tanque Verde: beautiful slickrock pools with Arizona's deadliest flash-flood record — a winter-and-spring falls, never a monsoon one.

Tonto Natural Bridge: a waterfall misting through the world's largest travertine bridge, ten minutes from parking.

Workman Creek: a 200-foot drive-up ribbon in the Sierra Ancha — with a uranium-history footnote that bans camping below.

Sycamore Falls: basalt pour-offs near Williams that thunder after storms and host climbers the rest of the year — time it to the weather.
