From Sedona we headed north with our new brakes to cooler weather. We landed in Williams, Az about 7000 ft elevation and about 15 degrees cooler. This is the gateway city to The Grand Canyon South Rim. We have been here before and walked Route 66, driven up to the Grand Canyon so we really didn't know what to do with ourselves for 4 days. We hiked one day and decided to take the Grand Canyon Railway up to the canyon, then lunch and a tour. The train ride was fine but paled in comparison to the beauty of the Durango-Silverton ride we had done a month ago. We chose to take an antique Pullman car which was much more authentic and beautiful than the regular train cars. This car had the original mahogany and the original lighting (complete with the glass) .
We hiked one of the days and today we will do nothing. Read, nap, just good old nothing. Tomorrow we will head to a park near Needles, Ca for an overnight and then on home. It's hard to believe its been 9 weeks.
Happy Father's Day to my son Bill and to his Dad's Stan and Bill. I love all 3 of you and all 3 of you have been great Dad's. Here are the Dad's:
