Grand Canyon!
We are at a KOA in Williams for a 5-day stay, and the Grand Canyon is my most anticipated park of the trip. I actually stayed at this same campground when I was a baby and we had our pop-up trailer. The Grand Canyon did not disappoint! It was amazing.
Instead of driving from our campground, we took a train from Williams to the Grand Canyon, on the Grand Canyon Express. Our seats were on the Pullman car. It was the only one they had that was over 100 years old, though I will admit it was a little bumpy. The trip there took 2 and a half hours, but it felt way shorter. Pictures do not do this place justice because it might have been the coolest thing I’ve seen in my life! The cliffs stretch over 277 miles! At the top, we took a walk along the rim to where we got such an awesome viewpoint and we could see the whole canyon. I also noticed the elevation while walking. It was only a mile, but I found myself getting out of breath really fast.
The rest of our time in Williams, Az we explored a zoo called Bearizona and also Walnut Canyon National Monument near Flagstaff. We were able to feed the otters at the zoo which was awesome and see bears, wolves, buffalos and a lot more on the driving section of the zoo.
