Grand Canyon Caverns

GC Caverns is worth the stop. Very good tour. There is even a hotel room built deep inside the cavern albeit very expensive.

While inside the caverns remain cool, outside during the summer months can be rather hot. A better choice would be to stay at Grand Canyon Railway RV park in Williams and make a day trip to the caverns. Not far from the caverns is Keepers of the Wild animal sanctuary that's a fun stop.

Williams is at 7,000 feet and is in the cooler forested pines. In Williams is Bearizona drive thru animal park and walking zoo. Well worth a visit. Theres also a deer petting zoo nearby thats fun.

If you want to see one of the best caverns, check out the Caverns of Sonora in Sonora, TX, a "wet" cavern (72°F & 98% humidity). Some of the most beautiful formations I've ever seen in a cave...

Some of my photos.

Thanks Folks. Gonzo42 That Meteor Crater is a great addition and right in the area. I appreciate the suggestion.

We enjoyed it when we went. A fun way to spend a few hours.

We were there about 4 years ago and enjoyed it. However be aware the air temp is at 55 F ALL THE TIME, so wear a jacket and closed shoes.

No, its not as fabulous as Carlsbad. We visited both of these, plus Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon south rim, Petrified Forest and Painted Desert.

I called it the Tour of the Big Holes in the Ground.

From the discrimination and pictures it's a dry cavern so no stalagmites or stalagmites...not in the same league as Carlsbad.

It is a beautiful place, well worth the time.

Never heard of the place but they have a RV park:

It would be interesting to hear from someone who's been there and can compare it to Carlsbad Nat'l Park or our favorite, Kartchner Caverns State Park near Tucson, AZ. Kartchner is a living cave meaning it's still dripping and growing. Beautiful tour - we gave them.
