See the Grand Canyon from a different perspective on the lands of the Hualapai Tribe.
The Hualapai Tribe of Northern Arizona operates Grand Canyon West, an off-the-beaten-path destination that offers rafting, zip lines and the famous Skywalk, a 10-foot wide, horseshoe - shaped glass bridge. All activities at this remote section of the Grand Canyon are operated by tribal members with special emphasis on sharing the heritage and traditions of the People of the Tall Pines.
Experience Hualapai Culture
Restaurants at Grand Canyon West serve mostly American standards, but Gwe Ma’jo at Hualapai Point serves traditional Hualapai dishes including frybread tacos and Hualapai Stew featuring ingredients grown nearby. At the village at Eagle Point, visitors are encouraged to step inside a sweat lodge, see traditional Hualapai and other tribal homes and enjoy live entertainment from various tribes at an outdoor theater. Also shop for native-made jewelry and crafts at the trading posts and villages open to visitors at Grand Canyon West and in nearby Peach Springs.
Visit Peach Springs
The charming town of Peach Springs is the easiest tribal town to reach on the historic Route 66. Hualapai Lodge in the center of town includes a restaurant and a trading post across the parking lot from Hualapai Cultural Center. The area’s top outdoor outfitter, Hualapai River Runners, is located within the lodge and takes visitors on day-long whitewater rafting trips on the Colorado River and two-day trips that include camping in the canyon. See a 40-mile stretch of the river most visitors do not get to see and enjoy riverside cookouts and a spectacular guided hike to Travertine Cavern Falls.
