About Larry R. Coleman
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I have been to the Hava Supai Reservation 33 times. Camping in the campground 5 days each trip. I have stayed at the village motel 2 times. Made one trip out by chopper. I have kept a journal of my trips. I know several local people and Rangers. I have documented changes in the village over 25 years. Supai is in the Grand Canyon on the South Rim on the West end. Also hiked down most of the trails on the South Rim. Have hiked over 900 Miles in Arizona. If I can be of help let me know.
