Peach Springs is located on U.S. Route 66, which brought large numbers of cross-country travelers through the town for decades until Interstate 40 was built and opened to traffic some 25 miles to the south in 1978. The town has one lodge, the Hualapai Lodge, and a small grocery market, but no gas station. It is the nearest town to Hualapai Hilltop, which is the trailhead from which hikers descend the 8 mile (13 km), 3,000 vertical foot (900 metre) trail to the town of Supai, Arizona, from which the renowned Havasu Falls and three other waterfalls can be visited.

Trivia

Peach Springs, Arizona served as inspiration for the fictional town Radiator Springs in the Pixar movie Cars, which depicts to some degree the losses that it and many other cities along Route 66 faced after they were bypassed by I-40.
