6Explore The Moqui Cave
Need a break from the summer heat? This is another perfect place to chill out. Believe it or not, Moqui Cave used to be a bar where such famous actors as John Wayne would visit while filming various Westerns.
Today, it’s a family-owned and managed museum and cave complete with fun fluorescent rocks, distinct dinosaur tracks, and assorted ancient artifacts, dinosaur tracks, and fluorescent rocks. While they do not serve adult beverages here anymore, you can still have a soft drink and sit right where Wayne often sat. Be sure not to miss the large wooden carving too.
Feeling peckish? You can grab a bite at the popular panini truck that’s parked outside the cave. By the time you get there, they may have already converted one of the unused spaces inside the cave so they can host various movie screenings, live music performances, and other events. The cave’s temperature is never higher than 65 degrees Fahrenheit so bring a hoodie or a light jacket.
7Delve Into The Kanab Sand Caves
Next, head south of Moqui Cave and you will find this interesting attraction that has five separate openings. Be careful if you research this online. Some traveler bloggers and even confused veteran visitors refer to the Kanab Sand Caves as the Moqui Caves.
Indeed, even Google Maps had it mislabeled as this article is being written. The locals say this place is called the Sand Caves. They are man-made caves once briefly used to mind sand many years ago.
If you’re into hiking, you can walk from Moqui Cave to these caves. The distance is a little shorter if you drive and park in the pullout located south of Moqui Cave. You can see these caves across the street from the pullout. While the hike is just half a mile, it is steep in places.
