It is very dark out here at night with no electricity, street signs, lamps or light pollution. The property is located just 1 mile off of HWY down a 2wd accessible dirt road. The first 1/4 mile section is an unmaintained very bumpy dirt public road that should be driven with caution. The road looks intimidating but is manageable. Please drive slow and watch for cows. The rest of the 3/4 of a mile after the first turn is a private drive maintained by us personally. Local Attractions/Resources: Just a 6-minute drive from us is the quaint community of Grand Canyon Junction, AZ which includes but is not limited to resources like: -Raptor Ranch Bird Sanctuary. This is also where the Flintstones Bedrock City is located. If you and the family are ready for a YABBA DABBA DOO good time, check this out! The park also has a convenience store with great snacks, souvenirs, supplies (like ice and propane), and a cafeteria for dine-in options. Here you can also use their bathhouse and laundry facilities. -Chevron Gas Station -Mobile Gas Station -Grand Canyon Inn Hotel -Valle Airport (I am a paramotor pilot and would love to talk planes and ultralight aircrafts with you.) -Planes of Fame Museum The Grand Canyon South Rim Entrance- just 24 miles away from the property.

Tusayan, AZ: 22 miles from the property, you can watch the Grand Canyon in one of Northern Arizona's largest IMAX theaters. I highly recommend it!
