Peach Springs Health Center

Peach Springs, Arizona 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? Well, you can here 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 nation, 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 cowboying skills, then spend the evenings listening to cowboy stories by a campfire while making s'mores. Hualapai Tribe's Grand Canyon West offers unparalleled views of the Grand Canyon's west rim from hiking and biking trails, river rafting, a zip line and the famous skywalk – whether you're looking down into the canyon through the glass floor of the gravity-defying skywalk or looking up at the cliff tops from a raft below, the view is always spectacular.

The Hualapai people, which means the 'People of the Tall Pines' have inhabited this area since A.D. 600 and culturally identify as part of the Pai Yuman which includes Havasupai and Yavapai. The Grand Canyon West is not part of Grand Canyon National Park but instead sits on Hualapai Tribal lands - 108 miles of which run along the western end of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River. This side of the canyon is more desert-like with elevations that average 4,000 feet, and it remains warmer in the summer. Explore the Peach Springs town here.
