Grand Canyon Caverns

This month @ the GCC:

• FALL HIKING

  We say it every year, this is the best time to hike Supai! No bugs, fewer people, cool temperatures. Hiking Supai requires an overnight reservation (day trips are not allowed), and the reservations fills up many months in advance. Luckily, there are always cancellations. Follow our link to contact Supai directly about reservations and cancellations.

• WINTER IN SUPAI

  We strongly recommend Supai in December. The trees are finally in full fall colors at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and it’s a glorious sight! Call the Supai Lodge directly for pre-holiday rooms, and if they are fully booked on your dates, have them tell you when there are openings. Plan a trip around this amazing chance to hike Supai and the Grand Canyon in December!

• SPRING AT SUPAI

  Feb 1st, 2019 is the key date for Supai camping and lodge reservations. An overnight Supai reservation is required to hike into the canyon. Make your reservation with them first and then make your reservations with the Grand Canyon Caverns. It’s highly recommended you stay the first night at the Caverns, wake up early and enjoy our free breakfast before hiking 8+ miles into the canyon and visiting the falls.

• FALL AND WINTER AT CAVERNS

  The Caverns are the perfect spot to visit on a wet or cold day since it’s always dry and feels like 72 degrees down in the caves. When you are above ground, we have the wood stove going and delicious hot food being served. The Grand Canyon Caverns is completely open all winter, including the RV Park and Campground (Restrooms and showers for ‘RVers’ and campers may be moved to the motel or Caverns building during extended periods of cold).

This month @ the GCC:

• FENCE RESTORATION

  With help from our wonderful neighbors, all the split rail fences around the property have been renovated. Weathered and worn, these fences received some much needed fixing up while keeping that classic old-western look . We hope you will be pleased with our work when you see it during your next visit!

• FRONT MOTEL RECEPTION/STORE BUILDING

  Finally, after years of planning, we have begun the prep work for a new roof on the Motel reception and store building. This has meant removing 60 years and endless layers of old roofing. Everything will need to be prepared for the roofers when they arrive in mid-October. As with all renovations at the Grand Canyon Caverns, we will do our best to maintain the classic Route 66 look and charm. Thanks to your support this very expensive restoration is now underway!

• CAVE EXPLORATION

  This fall some major spelunking will be happening at the Grand Canton Caverns! It will start with the Grotto Association, who are professional cavers, making a push deep inside our cave network in October. They look to build upon past discoveries and hopefully break through to some large caverns previously detected but never seen. Then in December, the caving will continue as explorers hope to be the first humans to ever set eyes on a large cavern we believe exists just beyond our current magnificent caverns. We are very excited!

• BOOK EARLY

  We never want to disappoint our repeat and very loyal regular visitors. If you know your plans for 2019 book early, as many dates will sell out next year, just as they did this year. You can book 2019 dates right now: Online Reservations

About the GCC:

The Grand Canyon Caverns, the largest dry caverns in the United States, is located on Route 66, just East of Peach Springs, AZ and over 200 feet below the surface. Stop by and take a tour, you won’t be disappointed!

This month @ the GCC:

• GROTTO RESTAURANT

  The Caverns Grotto, our restaurant located 200 feet underground in a large cave with an amazing view, is being featured in the September issue of Food News Magazine. We are quite honored! Reservations: 928-422-3223 Ext 2.

• CAVERN SHORT TOUR

  The Short Tour of the Grand Canyon Caverns has been enhanced as a new separate 30 min. tour leaving every 15 and 45 min. after the hour. If you are short on time, have walking issues, or need to use a personal motorized chair, this tour is perfect. Featuring no steps and an easy trek on a paved walkway, you get to visit the first big cave and get a feeling for the immensity of its size and the beauty of the rock formations.

• PLAYGROUNDS

  The playgrounds at both the motel and at the main Cavern building have new boats for the kids to “set sail”! Pirate eye patches and parrot optional.

• SUPAI AND WATERFALLS

  The Supai trail and its waterfalls remain closed after being rampaged by Mother Nature. Flooding in July damaged the trail and the camping areas at the bottom of the canyon. Reopening is expected in early September.

This month @ the GCC:

• SCENIC HELICOPTER FLIGHTS

  Short but spectacular helicopter flights will be offered over the upcoming long Memorial Day weekend. Leaving and returning directly from the Grand Canyon Caverns’ own helipad, and costing only $39.95 pp, these flights are perfect for first timers, those tight on time, or if you just want a quick thrill! You can also create a longer scenic flight for additional cost. This is an amazing deal! Call for reservations or with any questions: 928-422-3223 Ext 2.

• RANCH HOUSE RENOVATED BATHROOMS

  We have finally did it, the Ranch House, aka Bunkhouse, will have 2 like-new, modern bathrooms! Memorial Day weekend was our goal to complete this renovation, and we are very proud that the goal will be meet. A big thanks to our renovation experts! There is no finer small group facility on RT66 across all Northern AZ. The Ranch House is still available right now as we put finishing touches on the restoration. Reservations: 928-422-3223 Ext 1.

This month @ the GCC:

• • RANCH HOUSE

    We know this has been a long time coming, but the renovation/restoration of the bath rooms in the Ranch House, aka Bunkhouse, is nearly complete. The older second full bath was gutted over the winter and new showers are being installed in both bathrooms. The Ranch House is already one of the best values for guests, featuring 3 large bedrooms and over 1800sq. ft. of living space. Once these 2 remodeled bathrooms are complete (hopefully prior to Memorial Day weekend) you won’t find a better spot for a large family or group of couples! More about the Ranch House…

  • SIGNAGE
    All of the signage around the Grand Canyon Caverns is being restored, including new “vintage” RT66 signs. These help tell the story of our unique history, as well as guide visitors toward the many activities here at the GCC.

  • RESERVATIONS

    We don’t want to sound like a broken record… but both adventures and accommodations are selling out fast! Just a few months into 2018, reservations are almost double what they were by this time last year – so please book soon to ensure you can visit during your favorite times. We have some of the best, most unique lodging, dining, and activities for miles around, and would love to accommodate everyone’s travel plans. Book now – especially if your plans include the Suite, Grotto, or Wild Tour in the Caverns! These tickets can be tough to get, and you don’t want to miss out on the memory of a lifetime. Reservations…

  • IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR

    After a mild and relatively short winter, spring has arrived, and summer is right around the corner! The RV park and campground bathrooms, showers, and laundry are all open. The mini-golf course is back open after a winter of restoration, and we hope to add night mini-golf by Memorial Day weekend. The pool’s passive hot water heating system is being upgraded to provide better warming, and the pool should also be open by Memorial Day weekend. Roping events will be coming soon to the Cavern’s Rodeo Ring, horseback riding and other cowboy adventures have started, whitewater rafting on the Colorado River has begun, and new “Heli” tours are venturing out now. Tours, restaurants, and shops at the GCC are open earlier and close later. We are ready for another “busy” season, and can’t wait for you to join us!
