April 20, 2007, Train Ride to the Grand Canyon



It’s Grand Canyon day! The package deal that we bought through the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park and AAA gets a huge thumbs up. We boarded the train at 9:45 after watching a humorous wild west show. The train arrived at the South Rim about 12:15. A buffet lunch was served before we climbed in the lounge coach bus for a driver-narrated tour that stopped at various places of interest to get a better look and to take more photos than anyone needs. Each location seemed to have something just different enough that was calling out to be captured on film. We learned that the Grand Canyon is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and the only one in the U.S. Our train arrived back in Williams about 6:15. Each train car had a host or hostess who kept things lively with games and entertainment. Our hostess, Jodie, was superb. No one should have that much energy! Rog enjoyed a Jacuzzi at the hotel…another part of the package. We slept well that night.
