Grand Canyon | Hualapai

10/27/2021

In October 2021 I went to Peach Springs, Arizona and purchased a pass from the Hualapai Nation to traverse on a 20 mile dirt road/trail into the Grand Canyon.  As far as I know, it's the only part of the Grand Canyon that you can drive all of the way to the bottom of the canyon.
The following is my review on alltrails:

​First 10 miles of the trail was a washboard, well maintained wide dirt road. Next 8ish miles a little bumpier and narrower, but still passable by pretty much any vehicle. At the end of this section you'll come to a sign on your left stating you're entering Hualapai land and it'll have emergency phone numbers. On the right will be a small lot - in which you can park if you do not have a high clearance vehicle. Otherwise, in your high clearance vehicle continue on for the next mile or 2 until the end. The trail will get bumpier and there are some bigger holes and small streams to pass. At no point will 4WD be needed. I did this in a stock Wrangler with 33 inch tires. At the end is the Colorado River. There are picnic spots and port-a-potties. The river is swift here and no cove. There is a large flat area for picnics, etc.

The scenery was best those last couple of miles as you drive through the canyon.

​Don't forget to stop at the Hualapai Fish and Game in downtown Peach Springs (the rock building) to get the $30 pass to drive the road. I think it's worth it. I'll definitely go back again.
