Didn't get all the way to the bottom because the climb down involves narrow ledges, holding onto chains and ladders. I went to the first platform and took photos from there.

We hiked out to Mooney Falls in the morning, prior to returning to Havasu falls . This was in order to take advantage of the best sunshine time of day, and we were then able to swim quite comfortably here. Mooney falls was far less crowded and felt a bit more secluded and less touristy as a result, which for... More

Mooney falls is another beautiful waterfall - it stays more time in shade, so it's not as inviting for swimming, but scenery is amazing. I was reading reviews about descent and we hiked Angel's Landing in Zion, so we were sure we could make it, and we did, but I don't recommend it for everyone. It's really steep, middle section...

Mooney Falls is hundreds of feet of blue green water crashing into a magical pool. To get there, you must climbed down a rock fact clinging to chains, and handholds. Making it brings a well deserved sense of pride and the view is truly unparalled.

Beautiful waterfalls! The climb down was pretty scary for me because i was afraid of height and many places were almost vertical but the rest of my group didn't have any problem. Make sure you have shoes with good traction because near the bottom of the climb the rock was wet due to the mist from the waterfall. Once at... More

After reading many blogs and reviews of the scary climb down Mooney Falls, I didn't know what to expect. I must say when I stepped up to the ledge leading down the climb to Mooney Falls I nearly turned back around, but my boyfriend kept going so I didn't want to feel like a wimp. But after going through the... More

Mooney Falls – “Mother of All Waters” – is gorgeous and definitely worth the hike. If you are in Supai and you have hiked all the way down to Havasu Falls, then keep on going and see Mooney too. Though, I will admit, I admired it from the top and did not climb down. I will admit that I have... More

The descend down is hazardous, because the trail down is not well structured. There is a chain guiding most of it so you don't fall off the rocks. The last ten feet is a descend down a ladder. On June 20, 2012, three older teenage boys got too close to the fall and became trapped behind the falls. One of... More

It's an adventure climbing down to the falls. Not for those who are truly afraid of heights. If you're short, recommend someone tall go ahead of you and guide you on the footholds in your descent. Good water shoes recommended since bottom of creek is rocky. Go along creek and descend through numerous small falls. It's secluded and fun since... More

Not to easy to climb down to this beauty but sure worth it!!. one advice: once you over the narrow tunnel and you hit the chain go down facing the cliff and not facing the waterfall. Much easier that way
