Dozens of hikers say they fell ill during trips to a popular Arizona tourist destination, Havasupai Falls, which features towering blue-green waterfalls deep in a gorge neighboring Grand Canyon National Park.
"I said, 'If someone can just pack out my 30-pound pack, I think I can just limp along,'" said Melchiors, an experienced and regular backpacker. Afterward,"I slept 16 hours and drank a bunch of electrolytes. I'm still not normal, but I will be OK. I'm grateful for that." "I did a pretty good job using hand sanitizer" after going to the bathroom, she said."It's not like you can use soap or water easily."
"Watch for early symptoms of norovirus, such as stomach pain and nausea, before the trip. Norovirus spreads easily on camping trips, especially when clean water supplies can be limited and hand washing facilities may be non-existent. Isolate people who are sick from other campers," the county said. Tourism is a primary source of revenue for the Havasupai Tribe. The campground that has a creek running through it has limited infrastructure. The hundreds of daily overnight campers can use composting toilets on site and are asked to pack out refuse. Recent accounts from hikers on social media indicate trails are littered with garbage, including bathroom tissue, plastic bottles and fuel canisters.
