A Natural Wonder in the Making, the story of the Grand Canyon Caverns' formation starts 345 million years ago, at the bottom of an ancient sea. This was during the Mississippian Period of geologic time.Grand Canyon Caverns is a natural limestone cavern 210 feet underground and the largest dry cavern in the U.S.
You enter and leave the caverns by means of an elevator. They offer a 45 minute, 3/4 mile guided walking tours. Tours depart every half hour daily except Christmas Day, the only day the Caverns are closed.
Although we are in the middle of 3,000,000 acres of the most unspoiled land left in the world, you won’t run out of gas or diesel fuel as we have added state-of-the-art pumps with all grades at our very cool 1960 modernaire filling station….one of four left in the United States.

| Hackberry |
|
A mine discovered in 1874 in Mojave County, started this town and in those early years there was plenty of cowboys for fighting and faro. Unlike the many places that became towns along the Oregon Trail, and the Santa Fe Trail of long ago, Route 66 is a more modern trail across the USA, and maybe it's last of a kind.
