Navajo Falls is about one mile up the trail from the campgrounds. It's kind of difficult to get to, but it's a very interesting falls, with an entirely different personality from the others. It's a very wide waterfall, and it's kind of difficult to photograph. Unfortunately, I didn't get many good pics.

This is the middle third of the falls. The left third is sort of back in a cave and therefor kind of difficult to photograph. Hopefully, somebody got better shots of these falls than I did. - Navajo Falls

This is the right 1/3 of the falls. As treacherous as it appears, the surface of the falls is very rough and decidedly unslippery. Sam and I climbed up on what appears to be the slipperiest part. It was so rough, that you didn't really need to look for a foot hold. Just put your foot down anywhere and it would pretty much stay there, despite the fact that it was at a 45 degree angle with water flowing over it. You could also swim right into the falls by sneaking around the right side and swimming laterally into the falls, which Sam and I did. The current in the other falls was strong enough that it was pretty tough to swim into the falls unless you're Mark Spitz.
