Cane Beds is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.

In Will C. Barnes' book of Arizona place names, Barnes quoted a letter received from a resident, Annie W. Wilkinson, in his explanation of the name of Cane Beds: "When settlers first came here they found beds of wild cane growing in the district.

[8] As the Arizona Strip was largely ignored by the government, the Cane Beds land was first explored by settlers during early pioneering expeditions of Mormons in northern Arizona, by John D. Lee, J. C. L. (John Calvin Lazelle) Smith, and Jesse Pierce Steele in June 1852.

[11] A group of the Church of the Firstborn (a form of Mormonism), led by Ross LeBaron Jr., is based in Cane Beds.

[12][13][14][15] Benjamin Bistline, Short Creek historian, moved to Cane Beds in his later years after renouncing fundamentalism.

[16] Polygamy persisted in the area in the 20th century due to its isolation, despite the practice being discontinued by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

According to the United States Geological Survey, the CDP has a total area of 8.28 square miles (21.4 km2), all land.

[2] It is in the Arizona Strip,[20] 4 miles (6 km) south of the Arizona–Utah border,[21] 7 miles (11 km) southeast of Colorado City,[22] just south and west of the Vermilion Cliffs[8][10] and Kaibab Indian Reservation,[5] and about an hour and a half northwest of the Grand Canyon.

[28][29] In 2016, a nurse who was hiking alone in Cane Beds fell 100 feet (30 m) and was not rescued for over a day, having landed in a canyon.

Mountain and air rescue teams found her after the owners of her hotel noticed her absence and called the county sheriff,[20] and she recovered in three months.

[30] She was initially treated at a regional medical center in Utah, before being transferred to the Mayo Clinic, where she worked.

[37] Those who voted in favor said the move would celebrate the long history of Finicum's family in the area, not his armed activism.

[14] In 1950, there were efforts in the area to promote improvement of roads and infrastructure, and on March 14 that year a town hall-style meeting was held and an organization formed to better the community of Cane Beds and others nearby.

[24] Major hospitals serving Cane Beds residents are in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
