We took the Grand Canyon Railroad from Williams, AZ to the South Rim for our tour. What fun! We saw a Wild West Show before we departed and met some fun "Outlaws". On the ride home the outlaws attacked us on horseback, boarded the train and "robbed" us - but the Marshall captured them. That's Sage, Buck and Wolf in the picture. All great fun!
There are no words for the Canyon. You just have to see it. Even the pictures don't come close. I wish I were young and healthy enough to trek down into the canyon - on mules - one day down, camp (primitive), and back the next day on the mules. I don't wish to ride the rapids! So scary! From the rim, the river, that averages 500 feet across, looks like a tiny ribbon. A very special experience!
Next we camped near Sedona, in Red Rock Country, and took some day trips to see the scenery. Sedona is a beautiful tourist town, very Old Western in style, with many wonderful sculptures and expensive shops with great art - NO JUNK! But the best part is the scenery!We visited a quaint little Artist community waaaay up the mountains south of Sedona called Jerome. Don't try going there in an RV. Switchbacks and Vistas galore!
On November 10th we finally made our way to Palm Creek RV Resort in Casa Grande, AZ.
Time to settle down for a month or so. We have not "toured" so continually since our first couple of years RVing. It has been an exciting adventure that I wouldn't have missed, but I'm ready to relax by the pool for a while and play around with "Blogging".
