See The Canyon Now
Many people have a hard time believing that right now, the cold winter months, are the best times to really SEE the Grand Canyon.
Ok, it is a bit chilly and the wind can get down right nippy. Yet, if you can tolerate that, The canyon rewards you with some absolutely majestic views you don’t get any other time of the year.
Winter time is when the air is crisp, and refreshingly clean. the winds have blown the dirt and smog away. The sun is lower in the sky so you see more of the variations of color in the rock strata.
And the best point is the lack of tourists. Not so many tourists brave the coild to make the trek to the canyon this time of year. And I think that is a shame.
Always check the weather forcast before you go as things can change fast there. Plus you may find that what is cold for one person, is seasonably wrm for another.
Taste of Americana
When traveling up to the Grand Canyon, some groups like to stop in Williams, Arizona. This is home to the Grand Canyon Railroad and on historic Route 66.
While there, treat yourself or the group (call ahead for groups) group to a wonderful little lunch stop called the Brown Bag Sandwich Shoppe. Right off the main drag on First Street.
Great freshly made sandwiches on real bread at affordable prices. Served with a friendly smile. Set in a 50’s diner style. Complete with Route 66 memorabilia! Patio dinning is also available.
Just look for the fabulous mural on the side of the building, and stop in. Tell them Mark Anthony sent you! You won’t be disappointed.
