Grand Canyon

We are on the road again after 6 weeks in the Phoenix area.  Had a great time in Phoenix, especially our daughter’s wedding, but time to move on.  We left Monday to visit the Grand Canyon area, Flagstaff and Sedona.  We are staying just outside Williams, Arizona on the highway towards the Grand Canyon.  From this RV park we can easily get to the Grand Canyon (50 miles), Flagstaff (35 miles) and Sedona (60 miles).  We are planning on staying two weeks here. 

Much different weather here as it gets up to the mid 60’s during the day and way below freezing at night.  Have to watch the water hose and keep the RV water tanks full!

Here is our rig in the RV park

Monday afternoon we took a drive into Williams to see what it had to offer.  It is another Route 66 town and brings you back to the heydays of the 50’s and 60’s.  A sign in town said that Williams was the last town on Route 66 to be bypassed by Interstate 40.  The town is made up of little motels, diners and gift shops.  Its biggest tourist attraction is the Grand Canyon Railway, which leaves from town daily taking passengers on a scenic ride to the Grand Canyon.

Picture of town (I got this picture off the web as I did not take one.  It looks like it may have been taken around Christmas time).
