Grand Canyon Caverns

This month @ the GCC:

• MOTEL OFFICE NEW ROOF

  Sixteen years in the making, the 11,000 square foot roof on the front motel building has finally been replaced! The front motel building houses our reception, the Betty Boop Breakfast Room, convenience store, class room, two gift shops, and our historic bar. We’ve also added a completely new sub-floor and insulation that will conserve heat more effectively in the winter and keep things cooler in the summer. To help ensure the front motel building maintains the classic Route 66 look, Grand Canyon Caverns partner Mike is designing a false front roof that will go over the new roof and keep that Route 66 vibe alive and well!

• PAVILLION ENTRY

  The last major part of the motel building restoration is a shaded front entryway. This wonderful addition will have an area with numerous tables to relax and gather at and a well-lighted night check-in area that is out of the elements for those very late arrivals.

• WINTER @ the GCC

  Winter is a great time to come visit the Grand Canyon Caverns. Things are quieter and slower, there are no bugs, and even fewer people. The Grotto Cave Restaurant is not fully booked most days, and you might even get to stay the night in the Cavern Suite at a greatly reduced same-day special price. It may be cold topside but, in the caves, the temperature is always perfect!

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
