GRAND CANYON CAVERNS ARIZONA

Grand Canyon Caverns has nothing to do with the world famous Grand Canyon other than it's proximity, 180 miles by road .

 Leaving Kingman, AZ on  Old Route 66 we drive 60 miles and rise 2000 foot through the Hualapi Indian Reservation towns of Walapi, Valentine and Peach Springs  to arrive at our home for the evening, "The Grand Canyon Caverns."   The whole place has seen better days but it’s clear someone is putting sweat and a few bucks into keeping this roadside attraction and camp grounds alive. The best part of this place is that it ain’t slick, it is though, homey with all the quirky things you’d expect from something out of the 40’s and 50’s.

View from the highway.  Actual park is set back into a Juniper thicket about a mile. The actual camp setting is excellent.

They had to fence this big guy in, he kept wanting to roam.

                     Scary stuff.
