I DO look a little rough. This place is a ten+ mile hike from any road. Worth it. This is one of 4 falls. It's part of the Grand Canyon but it is on an Indian Reservation. You can faintly see a taller canyon wall in the background.
For scale that's a picnic table at the edge of the water below.

It makes a sort of swimming hole that people play in.
Look for the darker water: that's the swimming hole.

He'd have been swept over too if there was current there.

actually, people go up to the edge and sit there (in the dry season) apparently they have had several deaths
