WILLIAMS, ARIZONA & THE GRAND CANYON



Our drive from Santa Fe to Williams, Arizona is about 450 miles. 

We stop on route in Red Rock Park, New Mexico.

Some of the rest stops are very colorful!

We arrive in Williams, a quaint, old fashion, western town.

The town is located on Route 66.

There is nostalgia everywhere.



Watch it Don! That gas won't work in your Prius, lol.

                                                                                                                          

Another sweet ride.



We find the locals are real friendly.





I spoke too soon - looks like a gunfight!
(good thing they shoot blanks in those guns)




We arrive at the Grand Canyon and start to witness it's awesome beauty.





At 277 miles long, and up to 18 miles wide, the sights are indescribable.

At over one mile deep (6000 feet), humans are dwarfed on this outcrop.



We hike a ways into the canyon on Bright Angel Trail. In 1.5 mile, we drop about 1100 feet elevation.

We try a hand at carving out the canyon.
Fortunately, the Colorado River needs no help.

It has created a masterpiece!

As the sun sets over this great natural wonder, we travel on to Utah and it's amazing natural treasures.
