We are about 30 minutes (approx. 24 miles) from the South Rim entrance via State Road 64, offering a perfect balance of accessibility and seclusion on 30 private acres.
Do I need a 4x4 or high-clearance vehicle? ▸

Available April through November. Closed December through March to protect plumbing from freezing. A clean restroom remains open year-round.
