My Trip to the Grand Canyon

In my last blog, I told you that my husband, Mom and I took the train to the Grand Canyon.  If you haven't seen that post, click here. Because of the time of year, we only went to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  We were able to spend a couple of hours touring.  There are fantastic views.  I have balance problems, so I did not get anywhere near close to the edge.  My husband did, so some of the pictures were taken by him.  The Grand Canyon is full of color.  Our pictures probably do not do it justice.

My Mom and I safely standing back from the edge.

My hubby, Leroy,  decides to stand right on the edge.  Oh my!

Buckey’s Cabin is the only remaining building from the early pioneer settlement era of the Grand Canyon Village. 
Built in 1895 by William Owen “Buckey” O’Neill.

The adobe-style house is a store where you can buy items made by local artisans. 
I scored a pair of earrings there.

There are places to get something to eat and other establishments where you can buy souvenirs.

Can you see the folks on the right upper side of the photo below? That gives you some idea of how BIG this canyon really is.

The Grand Canyon is breathtaking and spectacular. I would suggest you visit there sometime.  One can spend countless hours there and even in good enough weather take a donkey ride down into the canyon.  There are rides to take you to different spots along the canyon ridge, we did not have time for that. 

Have you visited this magnificent place?  If so, we would love to hear your experience and maybe even a picture or two.

If you enjoyed reading this post, we would encourage you to comment and share it with a friend.

Until next time,

Trip on the Grand Canyon Railway in Williams, Arizona

My trip to Arizona earlier this year included a trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  It was decided that we would take a day trip which included a train ride to the Grand Canyon.  

We stayed the night in Williams, Arizona.  It is a very small town about an hour outside of Flagstaff.   It seemed to consist of two main streets.  On one street there is the Grand Canyon Railway and Hotel.  You can stay at the hotel, but there are other hotels available to stay in as well.  My husband, Mom, and I stayed at one of the other hotels.  

The next morning, we boarded the train to the Grand Canyon.  It is a day trip to and from the Grand Canyon.  There are various train cars to choose from.  The cars go from basic to luxurious and the price varies depending on which car you choose.

There is an attendant in each car to answer questions and tell some of the histories.  The trip also has musicians and cowboys. It’s fun for the whole family.  Our attendant was very sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Yes, there were cowboys on the train.  Fun to be had by the whole family. Our attendant said that the children in the family car behind us were throwing dollars at the robbers. 

So if you don’t want to drive to the Grand Canyon yourself, this train ride is very relaxing.  I would especially recommend it if you have children.

Take care, Rhonda (the middle sister).
