We are now at the Grand Canyon Railroad Hotel in Williams. The railroad began here in the early 1900's & was the only way to get to the Grand Canyon, other than stagecoach. It stopped running in 1968 when the automobile became more popular. In 1989 it was refurbished. Tomorrow morning we take off for the Grand Canyon, about 1.5 hours away by train.
Williams is along Route 66.
When we landed in Phoenix it was in the 70's. As you can see it's a lot colder here. We are over 7,000 ft elevation.
We stopped at Sedona on the drive up, which was about 3.5 hours.
The woman who took our picture suggested this pose.
We ate lunch just outside of Phoenix at this place. Tomorrow we'll have some pictures of the Grand Canyon.
