Supai, United States

The most remote community in the lower 48 — reachable only on foot

A village at the bottom of a side canyon of the Grand Canyon, home to the Havasupai Tribe (Havasuw 'Baaja — 'people of the blue-green water'). It has no road access: the only ways in are an 13 km hike, a horse, or a helicopter. Famous for the turquoise, travertine-rimmed waterfalls of Havasu Creek.

The Havasupai have lived in and farmed this canyon for centuries, moving seasonally between the canyon floor and the plateau. Much of their traditional land was taken for Grand Canyon National Park before a landmark 1975 act returned a large portion to the tribe.
