Havasupai
I'm 100% certain all my friends hate me for how much I have spammed them on social media about this trip. It is by far my favorite hike of all time. It's hard to believe a place like this exists - the red desert canyons, the icy blue waterfalls, luscious greenery, and brightest stars. That's all I really need to say, just go! It's 200% worth the pain.

PHX Airport - 5 hour drive
Additional Information
Helicopter ride - $85 one way per person. No online reservations, first come first serve at Supai village center & Hilltop Trailhead. First flight at 10am but people line up as early as 2am. Not ideal if you are in a rush to make a flight as you may not fly out until early afternoon.
Mules (packs only) - $132 one way, $264 round trip. Reservation needed a day in advance.
Tips (beyond what is available in links below)
Pack as light as possible. I overpacked food and clothes.
Hike as early as you can to avoid the heat
Bring a Dry Bag for river crossing hikes to protect your electronics
Vaseline for backpack chafing
