Grotto Meetings

First Thursday of every month at 6:30pm. Newcomers are welcome.

April 2025 meeting place: REI at the Tucson Mall: 160 W Wetmore Rd, Tucson, AZ 85705

Meetings are held at either REI at Tucson Mall. Or El Molinito restaurant at Tanque Verde and Pantano (2323 N Pantano Rd, Tucson, AZ 85715).

Event space will be emailed out and posted here as soon as we get confirmation (usually Monday before the meeting)

El Molinito has the usual Mexican dishes and we meet in a large private room in the back.

REI closes at 8pm. Food and water are permitted; alcohol is strictly prohibited. We usually go for dinner afterwards (Mod Pizza or similar).

Both REI and El Molinito host us free of change so our individual patronage is appreciated.

Everyone is welcome at our general grotto meetings, member or guest, caver or not. We typically begin with an ice breaker to introduce one another, share reports of recent trips taken, discuss some club or cave community business and then a member or guest will present some special program. Upcoming trips shall be discussed before the meeting adjourns.
