There are a number of ways to get to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. You can walk, take a mule, a raft, or even a helicopter, but few people realize there is a road that you can drive to the bottom and the shores of the Colorado River.

Diamond Creek Road (also known as Indian Route 6) is located on the Hualapai reservation, and will take you from the Route 66 town of Peach Springs, Arizona into the Grand Canyon and to the Colorado River. The drive is about 19 miles each direction, and is on a sometimes rough dirt road.

Despite the ease of being able to drive into the Grand Canyon, very few people take this trip. When we reached the river, we were virtually alone.

In this video we talk about getting the permit to make the drive, show the road and some of the scenery along the way, talk about the road's history, and at least temporarily, become the only car at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
