The Mother Road (a.k.a. Route 66) is a virtual playground of eccentric and outrageous roadside oddities, and this one follows suit. While most people traveling on Route 66 through Arizona don’t stop at, or research, every single attraction, this one is worth checking out.

The Grand Canyon Caverns is one of the largest dry caverns in the world and lies 210 feet below the Earth's surface.

And if that isn't creepy enough, the cave motel room is located in a massive dungeon-like space that's 200 feet wide, 400 feet long and has a ceiling that is 70 feet high. The space is shared with the cavern stage, shown in the foreground of the image below.
