Frequently Asked Questions

Most visitors come to see the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is on the Hualapai Reservation and to experience the Grand Canyon Skywalk.


 Meadview, Arizona, was established in the 1960s. It is known for its stunning views of the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead, as well as outdoor activities like boating, fishing, and hiking. It’s also recognized as a popular spot for stargazing and for being a gateway to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. While established as a retirement community, its main fame comes from its natural beauty and recreational opportunities. 


You can hike and bike in the area, enjoy local restaurants, visit the Colorado River, or engage in water sports like kayaking on Lake Mead. See our recommendations & blogs!


The area is home to diverse wildlife including bighorn sheep, desert bighorn, coyotes, bobcats, various bird species like hawks and eagles, and aquatic life in Lake Mead.


Yes! Lake Mead and Meadview are located within a designated dark sky area, making it ideal for stargazing and astronomy enthusiasts.


Spring and fall offer mild temperatures ideal for outdoor activities. Summers can be very hot, while winters are cooler but still suitable for visiting.


Yes, Meadview is a safe destination with friendly locals and well-maintained outdoor areas. Standard outdoor safety precautions are recommended. Meadview is the safest town in the entire Mohave County. Many residents in Meadview express their 2nd US constitutional amendment. The right to bear arms. 

Recommendation: Would not recommend staying in Dolan Springs, Lake Mead City & Certain parts of Kingman. Unfortunately, parts of those areas struggle with drug issues. While we also love the experience the West Rim offers its nightly accommodations can be costly. Booking a rental home allows you the flexibility to travel how you want on your own accord.


It depends on what you are looking for! Tour busses can be a great option for those wanting a public, group experience. While they can offer a consistent experience- for the cost it is usually more affordable & enjoyable to do it yourself. Additionally, you are limited to the times, dates and operational hours of the companies often tours can feel rushed & run-of-the-mill. We find that booking a rental (hopefully ours :) ) and visiting on on your own is the best option. To each there own.
