Peach Springs

With a setting that inspired the town of Radiator Springs in the Pixar Film Cars, and activities like cave exploring, whitewater rafting, and the famous grand canyon skywalk, Peach Springs – on historic Route 66 – is not to be missed.

Spelunk yourself to sleep? You can at Peach Spring’s Grand Canyon Caverns.

Head underground for a guided tour of Grand Canyon Caverns, the largest dry caverns in the United States. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, stay the night in the Cave Room – one of the 10 most unusual places in the world to sleep. You’ll snooze like a baby 220 feet below the surface – trust us, no ambient light from the city sneaks inside these cozy quarters.

Peach Springs, the capital of the Hualapai Reservation, is also the gateway to the Grand Canyon Skywalk – the glass-bottomed bridge hovering 4,000 feet above the canyon floor. If that doesn’t get your heart pumping, stop by Hualapai River Runners to plan your Grand Canyon whitewater river-rafting excursion.

For a Wild West good time, book a stay on the Hualapai Ranch. You’ll spend your days learning how to quick draw, along with other important cowboying skills, then spend the evenings listening to cowboy stories by a campfire while making s’mores.
