Canyon Overlander

Haak'u Cuervo Canyon Camp is a breathtaking location that greets you with gnarled ancient Junipers that have an almost sculptural quality to them. Red rocks lay beneath your feet. Blue agave, Yucca and a variety of flowering cactus are abundant. A short walk reveals that you are actually standing on the edge of a canyon. The views extend endlessly into Cathedral Valley where a long dormant volcano majestically sits. This is a place to contemplate. A place to dream. A place to rekindle your passions. The silence literally becomes a blanket and honestly it takes a bit to adapt. In the evening the sunsets produce those amazing hues that Arizona is famous for and at night the sight of the Milky Way reminds you how finite you are. In the mornings you're greeted by numerous species of friendly birds eager to share the sunrise with you. We've literally had them sit on our coffee mugs wanting a sip. Take some time and hike down into the canyon. Its about a 500' descent filled with large boulders and flanked by a couple rather deep arroyos. There are meadows and wildlife and the smell of pinyon pine. There are a few unique experiences here. Canyon Overlander is just what it says, it's meant to be a spot for the overlander, the adventurer, the pioneer to bring their rig and unwind and explore the numerous dirt roads that run through the 80,00 acre preserve in which we are located. In that spirit this site is relatively unimproved other than providing a fire pit we have only added a small drive to mark the entry. If you require anything else during your stay please let us know. We always keep water, firewood, grills and stoves on site for rentals and purchase and may be able to accommodate other requests as well.
