The visitors weren't confined in an elevator car; rather, they have the run of the caverns and an adjacent hotel suite while they await a suitable ride to the surface in Peach Springs, Arizona, said Coconino Sheriff's Office spokesperson Jon Paxton.
The malfunction was discovered about sundown Sunday, and the group was unable to use a stairway system described to be similar to an old, external fire escape, Paxton said.
The caverns are equipped with a six-person hotel suite and food service, and the group was put up for the night by the hotelkeepers, he said. The suite lists for $1,000 a night for two.
The natural limestone caverns, said to be the largest dry caverns in the U.S., occupy a desert region southwest of Grand Canyon National Park about 110 miles from the California border.

I read that they already have a way to get out: 20 Flight of Stairs!!
But the health conditions of some of these people rules that option out.
With my asthma and bad feet, I could do it, but over a long period of time and with lots of breaks.
They can repopulate the Earth after the nukes fly!
Never heard of the place.
Checked out website. Looks kind of cool!

I live 102 miles from there and never heard off it until a couple of years ago. I do want to visit the place too.

There are supplies stocked there by the US Government from 1962.
Just like the Kirk Douglas movie ‘Ace in the Hole’ (1951 film).
