Williams, AZ - first try at Grand Canyon

From Vegas, we travelled to Williams, AZ. A couple we met in Utah told us that the way to see Grand Canyon was to take the train out of Williams and board a bus to tour the canyon.

The morning dawned bright and clear, and the railway personnel put on a "shootout" show before we boarded. It was a lot of fun.









We boarded the train, travelled to the Canyon and ate a good lunch. After lunch, we faced a light rain, but got on the bus and started the tour.
The bus made two stops, but the rain increased to a downpour, with thunder and lightning. As you can see from Peg's attire, a cold wind was also blowing.








The tour director called it a day, and we headed back to a lodge for coffee and warm up.



You can see the clouds in the few pix we were able to get.





The train ride back was a little damp, but the company entertainers were good.
We intended to drive back to the Canyon, but the bad weather persisted until it was time to leave. We'll be back in the area later.
