You could dedicate the rest of your life to uncovering hidden gems in Arizona and still just barely scratch the surface – but it’s worth a try! One more spot to add to your bucket list is Redwall Cavern, a massive sand cave hiding at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The cave, which can hold thousands of people, is only accessible via a paddling trip on the Colorado River, making it the perfect adventure for outdoorsy types.
A hidden gem along the Colorado River at the base of the Grand Canyon, Redwall Cavern has to be among the most underrated natural wonders in the state.
You'll find the cavern at mile 33, but don't worry about having to search for it. Most, if not all rafting trips traverse this stretch of the river, so the leg work has already been done for you.
Near the mouth of the cavern, you can spot marine fossils embedded in the limestone.
