We took the train to the Grand Canyon today. It was a pleasant 2 hour ride up to the canyon. We met a very nice couple from Colorado on the train and had good conversation during the trip. Goes to show, they don’t have to be RVers to be fun people. They even invited us to stay with them on their property when we travel through Colorado. It’s always nice to have good friends to visit during our journeys. Anyway, although the train was fun, I would suggest driving your own car from Williams to the canyon. There really wasn’t much to see on the train and you are on their schedule. The train takes 2 hours up and 2 hours back, arrives at the canyon at 12:00 and departs at 4:00. This really doesn’t give you enough time.
The Canyon was awesome of course. When you look over the edge, the first words out of your mouth are WOW. At first glance it just looks like one huge mural. You really have to just stand there for a while and take it all in before you realize it is REAL. I added a few photos to our photo site. You can view them by clicking on the photo link at the left. Unfortunately this is one of those things that photos don’t do justice, but they are still worth taking a look at. There are free shuttle busses running throughout the park and you can get on and off as much as you like. The shuttles are great because there is a lot to see and you will wear yourself out trying to walk it all. They also offer a number of bus tours along with hiking and mule rides down the canyon walls. We had a great time and are worn out for now.
We may loose contact with the world tomorrow since we are heading into Sedona. Cell phone coverage may be impossible, which includes Internet. If you don’t hear from us, we should be back in 4 days.
