Obi Canyon Ruins

Chevaya Falls
Cheyava Falls is the highest waterfall in the Grand Canyon but only runs when the snow is melting on the north rim and for brief periods following a major rainstorm. "Cheyava" means "intermittent" in the Hopi language.

The falls may sometimes be seen from the south rim but to visit them requires a backcountry trip of many days via the North or South Kaibab and Clear Creek trails.
