If you havent visited the village of Supai, theres probably a good reason: The only town inside the Grand Canyon, its located deep inside a 3,000-foot-deep hole. Did you even know that Supai existed?


In fact, its the most remote town in the lower 48 statesand its well worth the inconvenience.


The only way to get there is by hiking, riding an animal or taking a helicopter.Are we getting closer?


Because its so remote, its also the only place in the country that receives mail deliveries by mule.


Two hundred and eight people lived in Supai Village in 2010, according to the U.S. Census, and all of them get their mail by mule traina series of linked mules carrying packages and letters.


Each parcel that makes it out of Supai has a special postmarkone thats well known to backpackers, who often mail out (or mule out) their heavy packs via the postal service rather than drag them back up eight steep miles.


Supai is part of the Havasupai Indian Reservation, and the place where the Havasupai population has lived for more than 1,000 yearsthough the tribe has had to fight to retain the use of their own land.


The name Havasupai means people of the blue-green water, and Havasupais have spent the last ten centuries farming and hunting within the canyon. You are in paradise when youre in Supai


Today, Supai Village is home to some of the worlds most beautiful scenery. Surrounded by red canyon walls and waterfalls, Havasupai homes and small buildings are unusually picturesque. Visitors can stay at the Havasupai Lodge or obtain camping permits.


If youre brave enough to brave the eight-mile hike (keep an eye out for mules), youll be richly rewarded. Its safe to say there's no other village like it in the world.


We have comfortable hotels and great places to have dinner at sobring your friends and family to the Grand Canyon National Park today!www.explorethecanyon.comCome to the Grand Canyon & Experience Supai
