The Grand Canyon National Park
Today our adventure was the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon Railways takes you from Williams, AZ near our campground to the national park. Before you board the train, four actors do a western-themed show. While on the train, you are entertained by musicians, and you look for wildlife along the 64 mile trip. We saw mule deer, elk, cows, wild mustangs, a mountain lion, and antelope. The tour guide tells you the history of the arearea while you travel the 2 1/2 hours to the park and gives you tips on how to make the most of your 3 hours in the park. Once you get to the park, you are on your own to eat lunch and hike through the park. Free shuttles take you from one end of the park to the other. On the way back to Williams, you are again entertained by musicians and a "train robbery" complete with "robbers" on horseback. A point and shoot camera cannot capture the beauty of the Grand Canyon and we are finding this to be true of many of these western views.
