Peach Springs

Hualapai Lodge

There are only a handful of attractions open to visitors in Peach Springs, but Hualapai Lodge packs four visitor attractions under one roof. The hotel, restaurant, trading post and Hualapai River Runners cater to visitors intent on exploring remote sections of the Grand Canyon. Within walking distance of the lodge, visit the Hualapai Cultural Center to see exhibits on the tribal community’s heritage. Stock up with supplies at Walapai Market before heading out on action-packed adventures on the Colorado River.

Grand Canyon Adventures

Grand Canyon National Park’s main headquarters is located on the South Rim more than a 2-hour drive from Peach Springs. Visitors seeking a more remote and rugged Grand Canyon experience head to Grand Canyon West, operated by the Hualapai tribal community. From Peach Springs, Hualapai River Runners takes guests on whitewater river rafting trips. Meet up at Hualapai Lodge to take a 20-mile shuttle ride on a remote dirt road. When guests reach the Colorado River, Hualapai river guides show them a pristine section of the canyon from motorized rafts. Book the two-day trip and camp on the riverbanks. Visitors also drive from Peach Springs to Grand Canyon West, where the famous Skywalk glass-floored bridge lets them hover 4,000 feet above the canyon.

Route 66

Road trippers and Americana enthusiasts are in their element along Arizona’s stretch of historic Route 66. While Kingman and Flagstaff are known for their glitzy neon signs and retro motor lodges along Route 66, Peach Springs offers a more natural experience. At Seligman, the original Route 66 loops north of Interstate 40 and passes through the tiny town of Peach Springs before reconnecting with the interstate at Kingman. The stark, colorful landscapes visitors see on this loop look exactly like they did when the first Mother Road travelers passed through. The rugged natural beauty of the area inspired Pixar to create the fictional town of Radiator Springs in “Cars.”
