Among a list of spectacular sites like national parks larger than European countries and stunning glass chapels in the middle of the woods is a stand-out in Arizona : Havasu Falls. The views at this gorgeous natural wonder are said to be "well worth" the effort it takes to get there.

Here's what the site had to say about the best hidden gem destination to visit in Arizona:

"Everyone knows about the Grand Canyon. But despite the massive number of visitors to the region every year, relatively few make the trek to the visually stunning Havasu Falls, within Havasupai tribal land next to the park. The falls require a difficult trek to access, but the views are well worth it."
