Peach Festival IN SUPAILAND

Late in August, when the fig trees and the melon vines and the corn stalks are heavily laden, and the weight of lush, ripe, pink and yellow peaches sweep burdened branches low within reach of industrious brown hands . . . when a soft mellow harvest moon bathes the canyon walls that tower over the fertile valley home of the Havasupai Indians, two days and nights are set aside by the council for a thanksgiving holiday. Friends and relatives from tribes up on the rim: the Navajo, the Hualpai, the Hopi and others are invited to join in the forty-eight hours of play.

The day before the festivities begin, a bleak lonely ledge of rock high in the desert vastness of the upper rim country begins to show signs of life. Visitors arrive by way of a narrow precipitous road that squeezes in from the tableland, along a sheer solid rock wall to where a horse trail begins. The day wears lazily on and the bright August sun blazes down on the Indians as they appear out of the "CANYON CASCADE" BY ALLEN C. REED. This is a photograph of Fifty-Foot Falls, the first and the smallest of five beautiful falls along seven miles of blue Havasu Creek (also called Cataract Creek) between Supai and the Colorado River. The other four falls in sequence are Navajo, Havasu, Mooney, and Beaver. The largest falls are over 200 feet. This photo was made on a warm August afternoon during the annual Supai Peach Festival with a 4x5 Crown Graphic. The Kodak Ektar lens setting was f11 at 1/25th of a second, Ektachrome.
