Caves in Arizona
51 Caves Found
Arizona's cave geography reflects its geology: living limestone caves in the southeast near the Mexican border, dry Route 66 caverns in the northwest, and lava tubes across the Mogollon Rim. Kartchner Caverns near Benson is the most extraordinary — discovered in 1974, kept secret for 14 years, opened in 1999 with 99.4% humidity and formations still actively growing. Grand Canyon Caverns on Route 66 is drier, deeper, stranger, and offers an option to sleep 210 feet underground.
Every cave listed here is on public or accessible land. Always bring three light sources, water, and let someone know your plans before entering any undeveloped cave. Temperature inside: typically 50–62°F year-round. Explore all caves on the Trek4Free map →
