Havasupai means "people of the blue green water". Havasupais have dwelt in the Grand Canyon and the rest of north-central Arizona for over 1,000 years, practicing summertime irrigated farming in the canyons and wintertime hunting in the plateaus. The Havasupai Tribe Reservation is at the end of Indian Route 18 off historic Route 66. It consists of 188,077 acres of canyon land and broken plateaus abutting the western edge of the Grand Canyon's south rim. Residents live in Supai Village in the 3,000 foot deep Havasu Canyon. The reservation was established in 1880 and substantially enlarged in 1975. The tribe is known for its location, traditional cultural life, and beautiful arts and crafts.

Boy, really makes the 7D look like total crap, doesn't it?

Perhaps I hyperbolize, but the sharpness, color, and contrast differences are really noticeable. Great scenery

Unfortunately, though I really liked working with the 7D, the quality of high detail landscape video was highly unpredictable.

Great scenery and amazing history. Well produced on the GH2, it's not hacked is it?

Thanks for posting.

Cheers.

Thanks for taking a look Allan. It's hard to go wrong with Havasupai. Beauty in all directions.
