Mvura yekutanga, yozotanga nyonganyonga
Zuva remafashamo rakatanga mambakwedza asati asvika kune vanofamba-famba vachidzika mugomo rine miti yakasvibira parwendo rwemakiromita gumi nematatu (13-kilometer) vachitevedza nzira dzekudzokera kumusha uri pakati penzvimbo yekuchengeterwa nzvimbo yeHavasupai.
Kubva ipapo, vashanyi vanofamba vachienda kunzvimbo dzavanoda kushanya — nzvimbo ine mapopoma makuru nenzvimbo yekumisasa iri padivi perwizi. Mvura yemupata uyu inowanzova yebhuruu-girini inokwezva vashanyi vanobva kumativi ese epasi.
