Travel Guide Peach Springs

Peach Springs is located in the traditional territory of the Hualapai Nation, of which it is the capital. Crossed by Route 66, it is freely accessible. However, a permit is required to explore the reserve, and this exploration can only be done with a guide and after purchasing one of the packages offered by the Native Americans. The most complete package includes a rafting trip on the Colorado River, a helicopter flight over the river and a visit to Skywalk. The Skywalk is a scenic walkway that overlooks the void at Eagle Point, about 100 km (62 miles) as the crow flies northwest of Peach Springs. To get there, it is necessary to go through Kingman, a 121 mile trip. One can wait until Kingman, ideally located on Route 66, before deciding to take a detour that will only be 70 miles (one way). The other activities proposed, without being so far from Peach Springs, require nevertheless a consequent displacement. For example, the boarding point for rafting is at Diamond Creek, 19 miles northeast of Peach Springs. The Hualapai Lodge, which is located just east of Peach Springs on the Route 66 route, is one of two lodgings designed to accommodate visitors to the preserve and Route 66 tourists. The second is Hualapai Ranch, near the Skywalk site. While the Hualapai Lodge is worth a stop, the rest of the town, set back from The Mother Road, is not particularly interesting for a visit
