# From the Archives : staying in the Grand Canyon Caverns by myself during the Covid summer of 2020 - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/from-the-archives-staying-in-the-grand-canyon-caverns-by-myself-during-the-covid-summer-of-2020/ - Published: 2026-09-22T09:12:29-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout **It was the summer of 2020**. Covid had most things shut down, or at least running on bare bones. My office had us working for home, and I needed to get outside. I decided over the July 4th holiday to head up to the Grand Canyon for some fresh air, open spaces and a virus free environment. I also coughed up a crazy amount of money to spend a couple of nights in the Grand Canyon Caverns outside Radiator Springs. Imagine a scenario of creepy desert folks, a rickety elevator, and staying in a cave system by yourself with only a record player to keep you company. Would you dare?
